    Sean, it is growing nicely, has massive legs and pretty wide head, all of that suggests it to be male, but the head is pretty small in comparison to a body and kinda "pointy" that suggest it to be a female. In some pics it looks like typical female, in some like male? See dilemma? Lol

    lets give it some more time to grow...
    Are you supplementing food? If not do so, 2xweek ca/vitd3, 1xweek multivitamins

    Sorry missed the thread for a while . I'll still go with my initial assessment of male back in July; although been wrong before . Some develop fast with massive heads and are easier to tell; others take their time and have smaller heads too. It's hard to explain how I determine ABF sexes; but I look at baby and in males the head from side has a "gumpty" kind of look .

    Honestly it's head is a lot larger than it was .. just under 3.75 inches now it puffs up a lot when I take photos so head always looks smaller lol
