Sexing yabbies


thermofish

Recommended Posts

ok i dont know how old they have to be before this can be used and its been a while so cant remember exactly but:

-turn the yabby upside down and on the third? pair of legs pretty close to the top i believe the males have a lump on each leg (looks like little pimple) for fertilisation purposes

-either the females dont have them, or their on different legs.

so if you can see two different individuals in this aspect you should have a male and female even though i cant remember which is which.

goodluck and let me know if it worked!!

You almost got it right.

the females have ovi ducts on the third pair of walking legs. The male have peni that are on the last pair of walking legs. you can sex them as small as you can see. The do juveniles 2cmish to create single sex populations.
