Answer
Hello April and thank you for your question.

I personaly wouldnt have bought a ferret from someone who didn't even know how to sex it.... what else may they have not know about care ect? Anyway lucky for you sexing ferrets is VERY easy, Simply hold the ferret under its arm pits and look down... the male will have his "pee area" half way up his belly closer towards his tailend... the females parts are all close together under her tail. Good luck with the little fellow.

Anymore questions feel free to ask,

Tara.
