Oops - how embarrassing

roedeane · 22-06-2007, 07:11 PM

Henry went to see Stuart McArthur today to get his beak trimmed as it was quite badly overgrown. Now please remember I was only 18 months old when I was bought him and Sally - so believed everything I was told

'He' is now registered as Henrietta

And just HOW silly do you think I felt

I shall never believe anything ever again

you have nothing to feel embarressed about, sexing tort isnt always an easy task, just ask ppl like kelly and niamh

Easy done, main thing is that he/she is healthy

How on earth did you buy a tort when you was 18 months old?

My mum bought them for me and said Henrietta was a boy and Sally a girl - I never even thought to look! Considering she's 60+ and so obviously female I do feel a little stupid

hey you are obviously doing something right

Dont beat yourself up about it, it happens all the time!!

meanwhile you have happy, healthy torts so hats off to you

if you want eye opening information on what you should be looking for in a male then go to Identification and Sexing and look at the post called Daisy or Dandy theres a link in there to some very graphic photos, which will make yours eyes water but you,ll certainly never make that mistake again, read it just for the comments well worth it.

My only 'excuse' is that I never looked at 'her' 'bits' - just called 'him' Henry!
