    Re: Het Pied breeding plans crushed

    [QUOTE=Deborah;1493477]Did you probe the animal and did you do so yourself, do you know if it has been probed previously by someone else?

    No idea if it was previously probed.
    Did you probe both sides?

    oh yeah, no doubt.
    Can you pop "him/her"?

    While I do not want to give you false hope, it is possible that you have purchased a mis-sexed animal (mistake happens) it is also possible that a female probe male (hence my questions)

    I purchased her when she was a adult, so the mistake was mine for not double checking.

    Should a female be injured and probing accident do happen "she could now" probe as a male which is why I would recommend not only probing GENTLY the other side but also popping the animal.

    I probed both sides (always gently), there was no "maybe" she is def male, if you noted in my original thread, when I noticed that the other 2 pieds were mixed up, I questioned why are 2 females mating? I know males will attempt it


    Now if it is indeed a Male there is definitely an issue since it was purchase as a female sadly the seller might not make it right, and if the animal was sold mis-sex you also have to wonder about the genetics now

    well, that is a very valid point , but I have grown attached to him and will continue to mate him with my female het later in the season, and if all else fails I will find him a suitable female(s)

    [QUOTE=RhacHead;1493492]I'm sorry thats terrible news now It's justified to go out and get that Homozygous Pied female that youve always wanted!

    My fiance said the same thing, but with moving and all the expenses that that incurs.....unless I win the lotto , but i have to play first lol[quote]
