how old are they? they have to be a certain age before you can tell. I would say the 1st one is a girl though. The second ones tail looks longer

I'd guess female, female, possibly male?

I was going to say Female female and female but I really can't see the last one in detail.

Cute little bums  Roll Eyes   I'd also say female, female, and female....but the last one could be male depending on age.

I think they all look kind of small to tell.  How big are they?

Yeah they are only little thats why I was a bit unsure... Mighty Aphrodite is about 4 1/4(ish) inches... Hebe is aprox 3 1/2(ish) inches... The Little One is about 3 1/4(ish) inches... That is assuming I'm measuring them correctly.

From what I know, I would say they are too small to make a definite identification.
