It's a south American racoon. This is him with the owner of the store. Very friendly.

He's cute!

This male/ female choosing has worn me out. I was really stressing on Friday. The breeder had 3 chams left and this guy was the only one we felt comfortable in being a male...

So is this a boy??

Yup, he is the man.

You've got male. Really at this age the buldge is so small it is a bit tricky. Four things i do.
1. Look for the bulge from the side.
2. Even though this can be tricky and imo only few can trick you. Colors.
3. Pattern, again even though a female can throw a nice pattern and imo it is very few. A males pattern is very distinctive.
4. Look over the top of the base of tail. Some males are bigger than other and just like #1 it can be hard to tell.


He looks a tad skinny.

Sorry, I didn't catch this post until now. Skinny? He eats like a pig! Seriously, I've thrown in 60+ crix since Friday early evening and all but a few were gobbled up! Maybe just the angles of the pics?

Its just an observation and it could very well be the camera angles..I have a female that gets fed a ton everyday too and is still skinny imo. Some young ones are harder to keep weight on than others.

Ok. I'll monitor him and post up pics as we progress. The female that I originally brought home from the same clutch was way bigger than the siblings. I'll fatten him up. Horns and butters are on the way!

Congrats on the boy!! :-D

 

[Cainschams]

Definitely a male. Along with the bulge he has the color, or lack of, also. Around this age the most of the time females are more colorful with the peach, pink and sherbert colors while most males seem to have the gray coloration.

I thank everyone for their input! Last week it was unanimous that the other Cham was a female and this week it's unanimous that this one is a boy! Doing the happy dance!
