my question is, how do u tell the sex of a mouse??
i think i was given both of the same sex.... plz help, pics if possible

Male mice have really, really large genitals. If one's a male, it should be obvious.

See the distance of the two "holes"!
It is the same sexing rats and mouse.

Hi,

You can see the balls when you bend over their tails to their back. Just the adult males have huge balls!

Hi,

Hold them by their tail, let them to reach something with their front legs.

You should have no problem telling the difference between males and females in mice. The males have very noticable testes.

 

[Louise E. Rothstein]

Male mice sometimes "hide" their testicles inside them. When they do that
they pass for (completely false) "females" until you find out that the distance
between their anal openings and the genitals that they do show remains greater in their case than upon real females.
