You could do that and get a good guess, but if you wanted to be positive I would probe them. But like you said usally the male will have a long tail than the female.:medbigsmi

Agree entirely. Only way to know for sure is to get a probe done. I have definitely experienced the tail-sexing method and it seems about 75% accurate, in my experiences. But, it is a good guess as any. You would just need a largeer population of animals to really make a good comparison to be at all sure.
