day by day they get easier to sex though dont they Holly? and it gives even more chances for cuddles.

Am sat here with Audi on my lap, trying to tell her it was only a couple of weeks ago she was as small as that, she doesnt believe me though, I can tell

For those waiting for news on whether these guys are boys or girls - just had another look and I'm none the wiser, tonight I thought they were all boys

I think I'll have to leave it a bit longer as I'm obviously not skilled enough. The problem is that they are so small and wriggly it's hard to get a good view, let alone judge the distance between holes and whether there's fur there or not!

Sorry to be so cryptic, I did take more piccies though

I'm sure it will become obvious in a short period of time. Good luck with the REC.

There is a stage at 2-3 weeks old when it can be very hard to sex them. You can tell when very young, before the fur grows, when you can see the females nipples. It will be easier in a week or so!

Oh i'm glad you've said that, I thought I was mad thinking I could tell on the pink and wrigglies! They were then covered until the started to fuzz so I thought I imagined it...

Thank you SO much, BVH - feel better now as I'm still none the wiser ...I'll have another look in a few days

I now know .....that we have five boys here

I was hoping for the REC to be a girly but hey ho - I still love HIM

I'm sorry that I've disappointed two brilliant people last night with my lack of girls but, on the plus side, all five remain healthy and are growing like mad! The BEC is HUGE and looks to be a really nice boy - we are considering keeping him now. There is also a lovely big non-satin Sable with a nice blunt face - he'll go to Will's best friend Josh who is hoping to start entering the main show with him. The other two have lovely pet homes and, while I'm disappointed about the two girly homes, I was able to tell two disappointed friends they can have hamsters after all which was nice.

More piccies tonight - can't believe they are 3 weeks old this weekend
