While cleaning up the forum a bit, I've decided to consolidate the sexing pictures. Here are the links to the threads that the pictures came from:

Mongolians at 12 days-- I think it's a little easier to tell with white-bellied pups.

Here's a couple of pics of my pups at 10 days old.
MALE - here you can see the gap between genitals and anus and also the large scent gland.

FEMALE - you can see the nipples under the arms and the smaller scent gland (the genitals aren't so easy to see in this pic).

Its time for that game again! Guess the sex ![:P](//storage2.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png)
I got a new gerbil today!! Total cutie! I'm almost positive that its a female but what's throwing me off is that the genitals seem to be a bit dark for an argente. Not sure how old it is. I got it from the petshop and I'm guessing between 6-10 weeks old.
Female or late-blooming male? Please help. Thanks ;D

Another good way of telling the difference is that male pups have a much larger scent gland compared to a female. Look at the pics of the 10 and 12 day old pups in this thread - you will see what I mean.Here's a couple of pics of my pups at 10 days old.
