Well I'm going to say Top one a possible female, but maybe a bit to small to be 100% sure yet
The second one I'm thinking male Sorry one of those days and its way too early for me still Someone more experienced will say for sure.

thanks for all advice they are outside in their enclosure nibbling on fresh grown weed thanks to herbiseed.
Ok so now I know I have a male and female next thing is will they breed as I have not got them to breed but will do whatever I need to do to let them live as natural as I can. |

Owen it will probably be another 5 years at least before they will breed for you, but I'm sure they will when they're ready
That's okay Pete Mornings are fun for everyone 8) Dan
