You would not be the first nor the last to end up being 'gifted'
because of a mis-sexing. Dang some of our little ones, they
are just deficient in showing clearly what sex they are...
:) Good luck, either way.
I had a trio that got attacked by their mother at the edge of
weaning age, and lost part to most of their hind legs, and one
lost the tail too.
I went back and forth several times on what sex they were,
(the tailless one I was SURE was a female for the longest
time, turned out to be male) and it varied every time I looked.
At 10 weeks I finally determined (this is six plus weeks of
guessing) that I had two males and a female, and the female
was one of the ones that still had a tail. Sigh. So.
I have heard of several other cases where it could NOT be,
and the litter was blamed on the petstore handling, until the
NEXT litter showed...and the avowed pair or trio of females...
definitely had a male in there. :)
