I can tell from birth if a rat is a male or a female. But at 4 weeks you should know whether you have a male or a female.

The males you-know-what get HUGE by the age of 2 months or so. With my very first rat, I was told she was a girl. I named her Leila, only to find out about a month later that she was a HE. We still called him Leila, lol.

what kind of rodent do you have anyway?
-if it's a hamster i suppose you could really see the difference if its already not that fragile and it already has its fur, it's already possible for you to see its gender. if you just hold it at its neck and turn him or her at his or her stomach so you could see its under =P if there's a balls sorry for the term anyway... its a boy i assure, if you can't almost see a thing it's a girl... well i hope that i did help...

the perfect time is while they are approximately 7 weeks previous it relatively is while their testicles drop and are much less demanding to tell additionally at this age they are mature adequate to offer toddlers..appreciate

Why would your age make any difference in sexing a rat?

you can tell when they are really young...if they have big nuts they are a boy. lol. rats have HUGE family jewels. when they are full grown they are like 1 inch. daaang.

just check the rats groin.
does it have testicles/balls/nuts/ballsack?
if the answer to the above question is "no", then (hopefully) it's a girl.
if yes, it's a boy.

That's very simple ...
if its a male it will have a huge scrotum right there between its legs ..
