What size are these animals? What’s their weight?

They look to be a pair. With A being a male and B being a female.

what makes you change your opinion? Thought it should be pair from the previous owner(seller)
The size of the animals does. A 1700g male would have a lot longer tail, so that one is definitely a female. The other one has all the female characteristics. After they reach 1000g or so they are more accurately sexed. When smaller it’s hard to sex them.
