I really really want to have more from these two. I just love them. I would love them if they were both toms too.. But my favourite is Betty, and it will stay that way if it is a tom or not. I don't think he will like to be called Betty his entire life 
This is the one I'm relatively sure is a boy. He is much bigger then Betty (his name is Bruce
)
Here is Betty
he seems more slender and less shiny then Bruce.. Not sure if you can see what I mean by Shiny..
