Looks good.
If I had to guess by the picture: I would say female as well.
Edit: Need pictures in natural light to see if there are any visual morphs. An underbelly shot would be useful as well.

48 hours is an estimate.
If she is digesting a big meal: I would leave her alone for at least another day-otherwise she should be fine to handle.

Seems kinda underweight for a 7 to 8 month old ball im a little concerned on the weight at this age

Ive only had it for a month the person said it was a female didnt know exact age guessed around 6 to 7 months so im taking guesses as well she doesent seem to be losing any weight at all i just looked back to a photo of when i got her on sep 14 shes had 1 shed since i got her

My ball at 5~6 months was under 200g btw. He did grow eventually and is gaining weight faster now. I guess he was just slow starter.
