Re: Request for assistance in determining gender
It is very difficult to determine gender just by looking at them. Many here have stated that more 'jowls' indicates a male. I have a female with jowls so jowls isn't necessarily a true indication. Neither is tail to body ratio, nor head shape.

Re: Request for assistance in determining gender
Do you have any pictures that show the entire body and tail? I am having a hard time with the one on the left. The middle one looks mostly male, and the one on the right looks mostly female to me.

I think the same
"the middle looks like a male"
"the right looks like a female"
one photo from today : "the middle looks like a male" and "the left looks like ??"

Re: Request for assistance in determining gender
From that last picture I would say male, but it will probably look different in a few months as it puts on some more weight.
