Baby BN Male or Female
From what I understand only the male BN gets whiskers so my question is about how big will my BN need to get before he will show whiskers if he is a male? He is about 1"1/2 right now and I thnk I can see little nubs but I also really want to see them so I don't trust my judgment

You should see a start in the next 1/2" or so
That's pretty small but I would add that...

mine didn't show until it was at least 3" long. Took a long time, I had pretty much written him off as female.

I'm with 850R, generally see "whiskers at around 2", at 1 1/2" its still an each way bet as to whether its female and the nubs are as big as they get, or male and continue to grow

Same with mine, he was around three inches before I could tell.

You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.

When I can figure out what I'm doing wrong I will post a picture of him and my angel and get "best guess"
