How long have you had these? All look thin. Perhaps you can fatten them up for a few months. It is very easy to determine their sex when they are all fat and healthy, as females tend to have wider girth. Nevertheless, I think the first three are all males. The fourth one could be a slender female. The last one, surely is a female.

Thanks for your reply. I've only had them for 12 days. Came straight from exporter. I agree they look thin, but at least no one has a sunken belly. They all seems to eat, so hopefully they'll fatten up soon.

It is common for them to look thin and frail coming from the wild. Hold on to them. With ample food, they'll be in better shape soon. Good luck!
