ive got her in the pet store and i asked the vendor how old is she and he says "..i dont know."

Answers:

Its really hard to tell the age of a guinea pig. Sometimes you can guess by the thickness of their toenails or their teeth, but really, thats about it other than size & weight, which can vary depending upon the pigs genetic makeup. Even vets have a hard time determining age.

The pics you provided appear to indicate the pig is very young. I'd guess around six months. I did notice that the nose was very pointed and the pig appeared to look mouse like.

She looks really small, almost mouse like. I'd say she isn't even a year old yet.

She is a cute pig by the way. Congrats on your new pig, I'd recommend checking the site out no matter what. Helped me loads.

Aww, so cute.

I'd also say that she's about 6 months or so. Next time you adopt a small animal you should check shelters and small animal rescues. Then if you can't find one you want there then look for hobby breeders. Just the fact that the Pet Store didn't know the age of the guinea pigs says it hasn't been receiving proper care. You should check out the following links to learn about piggies even if this isn't your first. I've owned a couple before but I still learned from these for my current piggies.
