I don't believe there is a legal requirement for size of enclosures. I could be wrong though. There are suggested minimum requirements in the husbandry manual for rhinos-I don't have it in front of me, but can get that info if you don't have access to it.
As for the sex ratio question, I'm not sure I understand what you're looking for. Do you want to know the number of males and females in the captive population? If that is what you need, you could go to the ISIS website.
