Help sexing my Redfoots

[playingeet]

Hello everybody,
I recently acquired these two tortoises from local pet store (petco and petsmart) My first one I got did not look like it had been cared for well, it has pyramiding and what I believe to be shell rot and I need to treat it but how? The second was right after and he is much bigger, and healthier. Both are great fun and personable, and your thoughts on male or female? Thanks

It looks like you may have a male/female pair. The fist picture looks male because male red-foots will have kind of a "peanut" shape to their shell from above. The second tortoise looks female from the shape of her anal scutes. They are still a bit small to tell for sure though.

I think they are 2 females also

The shell rot looks like it has run it's course. I don't see any new rot, just healed scute material.
