Help with Sexing- Has pics

cool pics for sexing there ....

as for being '' mean ''

they are bloomin' fearles and excellent biters of human pink bits !!

Mine are Definitely handleable once you get them out of the enclosure, i have noticed that they are territorial ;) Just dont mess with their hides and theyre pretty calm. I can Completely cover my male, and pet his head, and love him, and he hasnt a care in the world.

Great sexing Guide though! Ill be using this!

My ASF's, especially the large female, are tamer and more friendly than any other rodent I have ever had - even for pets.

I don't know why so many people say they are so mean.

My female is crazy territorial and will bite.. HARD.

My male is nice though. They're hard to handle though because their so jumpy.

okay, mine are about a month or so?? ummmm, is the boys 'part' very obvious? Those little buggers squirmed so much it was very hard to tell much. I did see what looked like parts on many and then on a few, it looked like lines in the fur where the teets would be?? Am I on the right track?

man i thought i felt dirty after the porn pied thread! now i feel even more dirty after looking at many pictures of the special spots of rats!

Note: I don't think you can really see the nipples on one that is not lactating.

How old are these adults? Because my adult male, which I have no idea how old he is (I bought my ASF 1.2 adult already), has very big obvious "jewels."

I just want to know for future reference when I get pups :)

If you hang a male upside down by his tail his testicles will retract like that. Some males more than others.

Something else I learned today! thanx :gj:

Every one of my african adults...about 50 are absolutely vicious....they don't hesitate to attack. I have had them jump and bite my hands when feeding them. The little ones are ok..
