You would need a male to fertilize the eggs.

Do you only have two cherries? You should get more. Then the eggs will become fertilized.

If they are very red, they are probably female.

If they have a stripe down their back they are probably female.

The saddle thing you dont see all the time on females, and I think it's just when they are ready to mate/have eggs that you see it.
