Anyone dare to take a gender guess

Postby MELUCHJA » Sun Mar 02, 2014 3:45 am

Hi, just wondering if anyone would like to take a guess at the sex of our Eastern. He (I'm thinking he) is 4 months old, 43cm long. Haven't noticed any sperm plugs yet, not sure if I would at 4 months anyway.

Curious to know what you experts are thinking, Male or Female?????

Looking good Melissa. Nice and healthy, looks less jowly than when I sold it to you( it was a bit tubby ).

Richard, I kept the feed up to those guys in an attempt to stop them fighting while I was raising them. They started fighting 21 days after birth! Their growth just kept accelerating even after separating them.

The bonus is they are now well set for the up coming winter slow down period.

My guess is male, but I wouldn't bet the house on that though.
