A breeder could determine if a rough-coated guinea pig is homozygous or heterozygous by conducting a test mating. Breeding the rough-coated guinea pig with a smooth-coated guinea pig would show if the rough coat is dominant or recessive. If all the offspring have rough coats, it indicates the rough-coated guinea pig is homozygous for the trait. If both rough and smooth-coated offspring are produced, then the rough-coated guinea pig is heterozygous.
If the guinea pig has torn ears, it's important to seek veterinary care to assess the extent of the injury and provide appropriate treatment. Keep the guinea pig in a safe, clean environment and monitor for any signs of infection or pain. Contact the breeder to inform them about the issue and discuss potential solutions.

To determine if your guinea pig is neutered, you may need to consult with a veterinarian who can examine your guinea pig for any signs of neutering such as absence of testicles for males or spaying incision for females. It is always best to ask for the medical history of your guinea pig from the previous owner or breeder to know if the procedure has been done.
Guinea pigs usually don't nest. Until you are a very experienced breeder and know exactly what to look for, most guinea pigs have their babies and you find out about it later. Even with experience some are very good at hiding the signs of impending birth from their owners.
