Can anyone tell the sex of Crowley?

[Rani-May]

The first 3 photos are of my baby Crowley, and unsure of the sex. Vet seems to think female but not a hundred percent sure due to the fact he only saw him at a month old so it was difficult. He/she is now 3 months old. Can anyone take a rough guess as to what they think Crowley might be.

LOL, yup Crowley is a fatty, i told you she was. The last couple weeks she has been eating as if i starve her, when in fact i feed her every day. so ive cut down the meal sizes a bit and a little less dog food than usual. Hopefully she will lose a bit lol.

The adults are all so light, i gather baby blotchies all begin dark and turn lighter eventually. I've been loving learning from a baby one. Is definitely my favourite. And the last one i can get, There are those in the pictures, and Flizzardo which im sure you have already seen (injured when i found her) and as we are only permitted to keep 6 adults, Crowley is unfortunately my last thats why i definitely wanted a baby one

Yeah they can color up as they grow,im not 100 percent on sex,looks short for its bulk,might just be the pic,good to get a few opinions though

Normally babies put there eating into growth,now that its probably sensing warmer conditions it will eat like theres no tommorrow and go on a growth spurt,not stay short and fat if that makes sense

i guess female, but dont take my guess too seriously. he/she looks very sweet!

the patterns on them o__o wow.

i also think crowley needs to eat every other day instead, for health reasons.

Can't really tell...looks kind of like both to me.

Adolescnce is about the hardest time to tell the diff. From head neck proportions looks female, but body to tail length looks male, as others have said the weight makes it hard to tell, leaning female.

Thanks guys yes i have been spoiling a tad too much so diet it is for Crowley. Would the fact that she is quite short, only 26cms, be something to do with how she was born late July? Im hoping she gets that growth spurt soon if she isn't very long for her age.

[Richard.C]

Shouldnt need to be put on a diet,normally if eating a heap they grow long instead of wide,lol,i wouldnt back diet off just yet,with warmer temps of spring summer and instincts telling it its growth time it should proportion out fine

July is extremely late for babies,were adults indoors or out,maybe im not last waiting for babies after all,lol

[Rani-May]

lol, well i definitely hope she grows into her fat XD, they were outside adults. And the babies tried going straight into brumation. I got her early August though and didn't let her brumate any longer. Maybe that stumped her growtha bit to start with. Tassie has only just started to warm up significantly in the last couple weeks. So im thinking/hoping the growing will really hit like you said it should

Should i also be doing as Linnea said (and thank you for that Linnea) and only feed every other day even though she is always wanting food every day, nearly take my fingers off with it

[Richard.C]

Up to u i guess,maybe bigger meals less often to compensate,id almost say they were born earlier,maybe owner didnt realise as they went into brumation,july is very very late,would be really cold in tassie,probably similarish to where i am in victoria,late april is very late for mine,and i bring the mums indoors as cage mates are pretty much starting brumation then,but if a cold spring its not impossable for extreme late litters

[Scotts1au]

Agree Richard that is a previous years baby. Lowlands are relatively slow growing.

[Rani-May]

Too bad i dont know when she was born. was hoping to really follow that being the first baby i own.

[Richard.C]

Id say april she was born

[Rani-May]

wow really? so about 6 months old? gee they must be teeny when they are first born coz in august she was so so small as it was. either that or im just used to all adults. Never even seen a wild juvi, always adults.

[Richard.C]

Baby sizes vary,from tiny to quite large,if born late outside it wouldnt have grown alot

[Rani-May]

oh ok, lots to learn about babies. im still keeping good track of regular weighings and growth chart for her.
