Thanks Danny, I asked the person who needed them rehoming if they ever dug and he said never so that would back up the Herman theory yes?

Could but they are Hermanns as Horsfields don't look like that

This is Rocky my Horsefield he is approx. 4 years and he is just a little beauty I was told when I rehomed him he was male do you agree and as you can see he has a pyramiding issue which he had before I got him but I think I have hopefully got him the right care now to abate the problem Boy?

Rocky looks a female Hermanns too, to me. Definitely not looking like a Horsfield.
