question on sexing

audioandroid Feb 25, 2005 09:34 AM

is there an average weight that a crested should be when you can determine sex? in other words if the crested weighs a certain weight and has not developed the buldge can you safely determine it a female?

Generally by 20g if there is no bulge, then you've got a female.

Having said that, Anthony just had a 32g "female" drop testicles.

holy crap! any word on how old that 32 gram "female" was?

I would say at 30 grams (or 25 grams without a tail) you could defitley tell if ti is a male or female
