If you have the opportunity, try it on a litter or group of babies. Once you find a male and know what it feels like, then it's simply a matter of perfecting your technique so you feel them every (or at least most every) time you slide your finger post vent. I say most because every time I don't feel the bb's first try, I repeat the finger slide a few times, adjusting positions. Sometimes I find them on try two or three. Remember, palpation does not identify females only males. Of course by default, if not male than is female. The point being is once you've felt the bb's, it's a boy for certain. If you don't feel them it's either a girl or your technique is lacking and you missed the bb's.
