All the above are educated guesses, when they are small, the tortoise could turn out to be male:0)

Was it a female or a male in the end?

Still no idea as being born with no tail it's more of waiting till its older with this one.

wait for me ....I would say female based on the fact the anal scutes look like a larger round butterfly than and elongated butterfly shape ! That's the science !

Good guess but I'm not sure you can always go on anal scutes when they are little I've had some before that you would say we're a certain sex going by the scutes and they change.

Gordon - what does this mean for the tort? Realise I do not know very much about the tail, so excuse my ignorance. Is there a known cause?

I have no idea to be honest it is with a friend and she said it has no problem with pooing or peeing so if it's a female I'm sure it will be fine if male I'm not sure what will happen when it's fully grown.
