Some of you may have seen that I lost one boy and his "boyfriend" needed a mate? Well.. We rescued Dexter from a lady who claimed that he was definately a boy... I am holding up my hands now and admitting I shoud have conducted an examination in her house.. I didnt. I slowly introduced them... Dexter is shy and Curtis seemed to be wanting to be near Dexter but he kept running away... I started to think that Dexter looked girly.. very soft features and shy...
I had not handled him yet so I picked him up and there is hardly any space between the anus and the "cone" Unlike Curtis who has a very pronounced penis and definately looks like a boy.. Very robust and "grumpy" and male!
I have taken Dexter (now calling him Dexy) and put him in another cage... They were together 5 days.. she could easily be a she and I guess it is very possible that she could be pregnant....
I appreciate that we have been very foolish but I am going to read as much as I can on birth and pregnancy... I have seen the horror stories on here.... I am not going to give her up.. She is my responsibility now. I would liked to have had three chins just incase Curtis lost his "friend" (we lost one to pneumonia and one to malocusion) So I would keep a kit if she is pregnant and THEN neuter curtis and keep them as a family.
I have booked an appointment with my vets.
I was wondering though, for those of you who keep a male and a female, I am sure some of you have had the males neutered? Do the males leave the females alone? Because Curtis was chasing Dexter a lot and I dont want her to be bothered and stressed out my all the humping....
