last night Fred and Ethel did the mating dance- wiggled their fingers at each other and then Ethel forcefully got on top of Fred, held on and everything and simulated mating... they're only an inch and a quarter long so i know they're not sexually mature, but is this a definite sign that Ethel is the male and Fred is the female??

Nope. They could be trying to figure out who the boss is.
