Males have very long fat tails that they carry to the side and females have short stubby tails that they carry down. Most likely you little one is maturing and turning into a male. If the fighting continues you will most likely have to seperate them before they cause major injury. Hope this helps

: hi
: ive had a pair of horsefields for a couple of years now, and am still not totally sure of their sexes. theproblem is the larger one is about 50% bigger so i cant be sure. the larger one has always had a larger tail, a lot thicker at the top. the smaller one has a smaller tail and holds it up most of the time. however, recently, the tail of the smaller one has just started growing (maturing?) and they have both become very aggressive - butting, constant biting of heads, feet. any ideas from this info? the larger one is 400g, other one about 290g. thanks in advance
