Got these in today. I’m pretty certain on the sex of two of them but one has me going back and forth. Once I get a few opinions I’ll post what I ordered. They are all about 5”. Two pics of each animal from different angles. 1st two are one animal, second two are one, and the third two are the last tortoise.

My guess is that it’s 1 female (pics 3 & 4) and 2 males, but I also think they may still be a little young to know for certain ?‍♀️ I am by no means an expert, this is just a guess based on the observation of my young male Hermann’s.

That is kind of what I was thinking as well. First one looks like an obvious male, second female, but the third I’m not 100% sure on. Still young but the tail looks a little thick to me

I think they're too young to tell for sure yet but a more experienced member may have a better idea.
Are they kept separately?

All together. Just got them in today but they seem healthy at least.

Hopefully they've got a lovely big space where they can avoid each other but if not look out for signs of bullying.
