Please help. My little kit is a week old. I think it is a female but I'm not so sure since this is the first time I have a baby chin. Is it too young to determine? Please help me out so I can manage to get a new cage and separate this one if it's a male. Thank you every much.

Yeah I dunno...I typically see more space between the bits on a male, but perhaps you can post another pic around weaning age? When I'm not sure I wait and see.
 
The space isn't very big. But that looks like a penile cone to me. There is no slit where a female would have an opening to urinate.
 
I'm going to say male. Maybe if you can see if you can use your thumb and index finger to see if you can spread the private parts away from each other. If there is a space definitely male no space female. I had to do this with one of mine I thought it was a female turned out to be a male.
