Awww they're lovely

You wont be able to tell their sex til they're at least 2-3", even then - you can get a surprise! Some females have no bristles, some have a small row along their lip - and some males can start out looking like females with hairy lips, only to go on and get more bristles as they grow even bigger. I can tell you though - you will get addicted to inspecting them daily for new bristles lol
