I think behaviour can play a role in determining their gender but not all the time. I’ve had very vocal females and very quiet males so it’s hit or miss. That squeaking sound could possibly be her wanting to mate. If she’s crouching down when you pet her back, that’s most likely it and I wouldn’t pet her back then because it might encourage her to want to mate. By what you’ve all said, I’m fairly certain Eve is a female. 😊

Yeah, I’ve heard the mating behavior and I don’t encourage it at all. It was when I was petting her head and stroking her because of which I accidentally pet her back, which I avoid. I thought about it being a mating behaviour but then considering her age, isn’t it too early for her to show this behaviour?

No, I've had babies make the peeping sound and crouching down when they're even younger than 6 months so it's very possible that's what she was doing.
