The acid test of a male is being able to extrude a penis when you push in and down just above the genitals. Failing that, you can feel for the penis bone by putting your forefinger crosswise the abdomen just above the genitals and moving it back and forth -- you should be able to feel the bone underneath.

Thankyou yes I read the link. I'm very sure I have a male and a female. Unfortunately the male will have to be on his own as my others are girls.

If you have a good exotics vet in your area you can have him neutered (once he’s old enough) and then he can live with the girls.
