    Hey all, I paired my known female with my big 1800+gr "Male" and noticed they both began to tail wag and musk. Is it what I think and my "Male" is a female or do males tail wag and sent? Another issue is after about an hour of them tail wagging and circling they now seem to be ignoring eachother.. What do yall think?

    My biggest issue is I've had the 1800+gr bp probed multiple times and been told both sexes. So I figured I'd intro to my known female and they both acted interested in each other then just kinda stopped and gave up. So I added a known male and the female started to wag again but the big one didnt do anything.. I'm at a loss so I figure no harm in leaving the known female with the unknown and see what happens.

    The biggest ball I've ever seen was an old male that someone had at a show. It's head was almost as big as my hand with fingers out-stretched...looked prehistoric...

    Try throwing a male in with the suspected male/possible female and see if the mating dance goes any different.

    sadly it can be an issue when probing if the person is not proficient or if the animal was previously injured which is why probing on both side is recommended.

    Best at this point since everything else would just be guessing is to pop both animal and obviously it needs to be done by someone that can pop adults.
