7 Zebras To Sex

Post by mistern2005 »

In transferring tanks, I took pictures. Here are my fantastic 7!

I would GREATLY APPPRECIATE any and all help determining the boys and girls.

I purchased these 7 in two groups between September 2006 and February 2007. When I purchased them I was told they were 4-6 months in age. They were indeed very small. I'd guess they are nearing 2 years of age.

Here the are - please note the reference number:

c'mon everyone please help... :?

Just to add something, these all came as juveniles from 4 sets of parents. I hope this means I should - statistically - have a good ratio.

4 & 5 are definately females. 7 is a possible female. 2,3 &6 are males. I'm not sure about 1. It's very nice for you to have both sexes. Just give them another year, they will be ready! :)
