Need opinions!!! I'm thinking he isn't a he...

Oh man, I forgot to add this picture (ignore the spikey couch-trying to keep the Dobie off the top of the couch)

Looks kinda like an ovy. Can you palpate for follicles or maybe get him/her probed?

That's exactly what I was thinking, first I thought eggs, but the tail suck makes me think the start or end of an ovy since it's not huge. I'm not great at palpating so I couldn't say much about that.

It looks like you have a 1600 gram female on your hands! I do live in Iowa if you need Probs or Probing.

I'm so glad you agree. I thought maybe it could be wishful thinking, but I think his "condition" is pretty obvious. I've never been taught how to probe so I've never tried. What part of Iowa are you in? I'm SE, by Iowa City. I have a couple breeder friends that could check him out too, but I'm thinking I may not put "him" through the stress right now. It's going to be so hard to start calling him a her!

WOW! Looks like a glowing female to me! That difference in head is too different to ignore. Perhaps the pastel or the mojave may have knocked up your "male".

Yeah for sure! I couldn't believe his head glow when I opened the tub. My husband didn't even recognize him when I took him out for pictures. I'm going to guess the pastel knocked "him" up because he's a beast when it comes to breeding. Man, it would be so crazy to get pewters when I wasn't even breeding for them!
