area if it spins around in a circle its a girl...if it swings from side to side its a boy...something to
do with magnetic energy...try it on critters that you already know the sex of...c what happens!!
It doesnt work for everyone from what l gather....and it can get mixed readings on gravid/pregnant
females.
We did a few experiments with other peoples critters (needle sexing) it can be quite amazingly accurate!!
Sounds like the same method used for sexing fairies

After all the advice in the world it really comes down to" females will drop live young" Males tend to fight in the spring time where as the females start to get fatter due to being gravid.

Hi guys,

this topic shows up every now and again. Females get along with females. Females smash males in the females cage. Males romance females in a males cage if your lucky. ( I recently had the female attack the male the day after it mated with him in his own cage). GENERALLY when comparing side by side in MOST Bluey species the males seem to have longer slightly slimmer tails to the females. Yet i have females with large 'boof-heads' which are supposedly more apparent on males.

Here's what happenned last time this topic came up:
Qustion

Have Fun
