Keep feeding them for a couple of months or so. They need to fatten up to ease sexing. Could be skinny females. Odontodes is not a very reliable parameter for sexing these, as both sexes are equally "hairy" IME.

Leporacanthicus are tricky to sex, this is my pair, not same species but same family and similar traits, might help as a comparison.
the rounder body tends to suggest a pair of females.
