ok i was quite confident after EygptianDan had already sexed these 2 for me when they were still in quarentine but now they are in the same table the last 2 days 'Poppy' has been mounting Lola. i know this is also a sigh of dominace and while i have seen no sign of a penis Poppy has been thrusting away and releasing fluids!
Poppy

Not sure, sorry, but maybe someone could tell you if the pinkish colour on poppy looks alright? i'v heard pink is not good...
all the best

Hi, they look like two females to me, are you sure the mounting isn't just playfulness? Keep us updated xx

The pink flush looks fine, just keep an eye on it that it doesn't go red. The pink flush is most likely hormones and she is ovulating and wanting a male to mount her (thats why she's doing the mounting

). Is the fluid thick and whitish yellow in colour?

as soon as i saw the pink Poppy was up the vet, who pointed out to me they are blood vessels when you press it it goes away. he has said the same thing 'if it changes or gets darker come back' cant remember what he said causes it tho. trust me if i notice anything unusual im on the phone to the vet within 5minutes!
the fluids from what i can tell look clear. she did it yesterday and i think it was pee cause there were some urates in it.

Well I'm no expert but I will be really surprised if Poppy doesn't turn out to be male!!

have put a post in the health/vet section as i think Poppy was starting to 'nest' so im 100% convinced that she is a she, like i was before this started

I would say both girls. The pinkness can be caused by a lack of calcium easily solved by adding more clacium can take a while though up to six months to improve.
