If it's just for a pet sex shouldn't matter! If it's cheap and you want it as a pet then get it, although it is small for it's age.

Don't the cheeks indicate a male? Or are the male cheeks even bigger than that?

At 30in they should be able to feel the buttons which would indicate it being a male. Personally, I think it's too small to tell based off of head etc., but I'd go with female.

Some females are a little cheeky just not as much as males with jowls. At 2yrs old and 30 in I would agree with female. I see no signs of it being males, no bb's and the femoral pores are not as pronounced as males.

My only concern would be what looks like a growth on her bottom lip. That one red bumpy spot got me thinking about this thread that Laurarfl posted on the other site.

Maybe just a coincidence that they're both Reds but I wonder what that looked like in the beginning and as it started to grow.

It could be something or nothing but should be looked at just in case,.. who ever gets it. Even mention it to the owner if you haven't already. For them to have it checked out and or make sure anyone interested is aware of it.
