I really cannot tell the difference.

Please point out the difference and what to look for between picture 3 and 4

Yesterday afternoon my big sow had 4 babies. Sorry, not camera. I'be happy if I can at least seperate the sexes by week 3 so I wouldn't need 4 different cages.
 
Also if you run your finger across the bone just above the genitals you can often feel the retracted penis on a male or smooth bone on a female. Guinea pigs are pretty easy to sex by looking after awhile though. See enough Y's and penis dots and you sex them day 1 in seconds. I never get guinea pigs wrong but I still mess up a gerbil here or there and rabbits I can sex fairly accurately as newborns before they have fuzz but after they get fuzz I have to wait until 8weeks and still make mistakes then.
