Female or male? Please help me

Post by Marya »

Hi guys

I wondered if it's possible for any of you to tell me the sex of my DPs by looking at these pictures of my two little friends?? :D

Also I wonder if they're grown-ups by now or? I think they're between 2-3 cm long.

I can't see any wrinkles behind any eyes myself and can't see any belly lines either....

And one more thing: should they be more fat or are they heavy enough by now?

This is Gerda

And this is Gerda in the foreground and Trut in the background

And then the other way around...

Finally Trut again

They look lovely, nice and plump but not overfed :)

I dont actually own Dwarfs, but from what i understand males have wrinkles behind their eyes where the females dont. So if they dont have them could be all female?

They are either too young to sex or appear to be females.

Ok, thanks...:)

If they are too young to sex, then when can you tell? How big/old should they be?

Mine showed wrinkles after I had them about 6 months and were full grown.
