Weelll i had my bigger female (17 inches) out (after taking her out of the males cage about 4 days ago from him stressing her) i had her out on the basement floor, and my little female (14 inches) was bobbing her head like my male does at this large female. Her beard did not turn black, and under her tail there is one bump in the middle (meaning female). But she is so small!!!! and then she bumped the cage door (i didnt lock it yet, i just fed her) and then jumped out onto the floor and galloped over to Cheech and jumped on her and tried to bite her head or neck (maybe trying to mate?/!?!?) is this just a show of dominance? or could she be a he? It was funny because Artemis (the small agressive one) is so...well...SMALL! and Cheech is built kinda big and fat. Oh well, Cheech had her surprise of the day, she first waved at Artemis, and then when Artemis jumped on her trying to "mate", Cheech just cocked her head at Art. and stared at her like "what the hell are you doing>!>!" well any input would be appreciated.

Could be a he BUT could be a she too.
We have females act this way too. Some never grow out of it and never give up and act like males their full life.
We have ont that is over 3 years and have not yet to let a male mate and we have one that is almost 5 years old, female and never mated, never laid an egg.
