I really lucked out, I got my male first,waited 6 months then got my female..well he went up to her,smelled her,looked at me and said"oh boy,a girl,just what I have been hoping for",took her toys,let her eat first,even though they have seperate bowls,and he has been a perfect gentleman,now that they have the baby,they are the cutest family,you can see the gender differances even in the way they take care of the little one
