Horsfield....Boy Or Girl?

5helly · 25-04-2011, 09:53 PM

Hi, some help would be great please. I bought my Horsfield last year and was told she was a 5 year old female. Since this time, I have seen her/him, mounting my older female but then the older female has been quite aggressive to her/him and headbutting her/him. I also have a male Horsfield that has shown no interest in her/him at all. Advice please!!!!!!!!!

My Martha' tail is exactly the same shape as your torts and she supprised me the other week and flashed her manhood.
So on the evidence that Arthur (was Martha) presented I would have to say deffo male.
But I'm no expert !!

Oh dear, I bought the tort believing that she was female, to give my older female a bit of respite from the attention of the male. Looks like I may have doubled her stress!

I would say a male based on the shape of the tail. I'm not 100%, but pretty darn sure of it. Maybe worth checking out
