Pyxie sexing question

[andy0158]

I have an 8 week year old pyxie, and while handling to clean his viv, I heard him chirp. To my understanding this would mean he's male, or do most juvies chirp? I just wanted to make sure since the pyxie is still young so I can't really sex him.

Okay.....forgive me, but your post is kind of confusing. However, if you have an 8 week old Pyxie, it will be dificult to 100% confirm sex, though some members on this Forum could take an educated guess. If you have a year old Pyxie, it will be easy to confirm sex if you are able to post a picture. And a chirp is not an indicator of sex-females can make a variety of sounds, especially when they are handled.

Maybe he meant 1 year 8 weeks old.

Or maybe it was 8 weak one year old pyxies.

Some say at 4 inches you can sex them pretty accurately. Our second group is at around 3 and a half months and some are close to, if not exceeding 4 inches. We are pretty certain which ones are male and female at this point. The males have huge heads and the little ladies heads look more like beaks! So you won't have to wait too long!
Those little chirps are supposed to intimidate you! haha Ours make them all the time when changing water dishes, or getting them out to feed.. Then there is a second sound that is more of a, well, sorta like soft grunt. It's a hard noise to describe, and even harder to replicate when trying to explain it to some one! haha A lot of them make this noise at night time when the lights are out.
