Boys have testicles, girls have none. Fairly straighforward.

If little baby boys are boys, they have to store their 'juice' somewhere....

Well the other way to tell is on boys the ***** is further from the anus than females. Far apart male...close together female. Hope this helps. by the way when you get good at telling the difference you will be able to tell on day olds. Good luck and have fun....Jamie/Blueeheeler

you may not be able to tell on young male mice because they haven't "dropped" yet (if they are like rats) or if they are scared/nervous....

None of my mice have huge packages. As Jamie suggested, the best way of sexing them is by the distance between their parts. Males will be signifcantly further. This can be done at almost all stages of life, but of course in really young babies it can be more difficult.

do not hold them by the tales to sex them. said package slips in and can result in a mistaken sexing

The distance between the genitals and the anus is definately a lot more on the males. When they are young, you can see nipples on the females.
Take care
