    Default Growth rate determines gender?

    Hey guys. Just wondering if the growth rate determining gender thing is legit? I weighed my pyxie last week and he was 60 grams and today (exactly a week later) he is 77 grams. I weighed him before I fed him and have been feeding him between 5 and 8 crickets a day. I'm just wondering if this is a fast growth rate or not. Is that a typical rate for males? Or is it too early to decide. I posted pictures of him in my last post titled "My Pyxie Murphy" if any keen eyes wanna check them out and let me know what you think. Anything helps. Thanks guys.

    Not that I saw. Does that matter? I doubt he had 17 grams of pee in him.

    No. Rapid growth over period of time ( not a week along with other signs can be used in prediction gender.
    Save one animal and it doesn't change the world, but it surely changes the world for that one animal!
