sex to Kiko
In theory it is 4 years old and measures 12, 5 cms and weighs approximately 250 grs. They sold it to me as a male. The vet suspects that she may be a female, I know she is still small, but what do you think?

Hi Asecca,
It is really difficult to tell the sex of a tortoise before they are about 5 or 6 years old, or of a sufficient size, and with Horsfields they do mainly tend to look female until a certain age and then all of a sudden the tail seems to grow longer and they are obviously male. If I had to guess i would say that Kiko is female.
Here is a little guide to sexing Horsfields

I hope it is helpful, but you might just have to wait. Keep sending us photos as she gets older and we'll keep trying to get a verdict for you!
