Sounds like the vet probed it. I would also like to know how they determined how old it was too....

yes probing thats wat she called it and how accurate is it how cn i tell for sure. and as far as age goesshe just said really its hard to tell but from her 30 years exp and based on feeding once every week she would be some where between the 1 1/2 - 2 yr old range. she said 9 months she had never seen a norm bp that long at 9 months. but it was just her opinion like i said. i do kno she wieghs 176 grams according to their scale

And I have NEVER seen a 176 grams year and a half BP.

If a BP was fed weekly since that is what she base the age on there is just NO WAY the animal would be 176 grams.

What if I tell you have have the following (among others)

1500 grams female
1200 grams female
1395 grams female
750 grams female

there are 2 2009 , 1 2008 and 1 2007 can you tell me which one is which

Bottom line you cannot guess the age of an animal based on weight or anything else.

So given she estimate a 176 grams BP at 2 years old I would get a second opinion on the sex and have the animal popped.

Doubt your vet have seen many BP period in the last 30 years.
