[Gpdd] CARE: Gender Identification

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

Hi Yuka,
You say:

> the top part of their "Y", but they are not particularily centered.

My guess (but it's only that, a guess) is that the piggies with the small 
bumps are boys. I went thru the same thing, thought I accidentally had a boy and 
a girl (it turned out to be 2 boys, just as I'd wanted). The two piggies in 
question, Charlie and Chester and about 1   1/2   week apart in age and were 
about the age your are now. I was all in a dither when I thought I had opposite 
genders. I do not want to add to the GP population, just care for those already 
here as so many already need homes.
     I didn't try the lower abdominal pressure thing. I have no skill at it 
and so didn't want to try it. Those tiny bumps above the Y, however, were their 
little boy parts.

To Others:
I keep saying that I'm not online much thse days so I am missing so much tho 
thinking of all of you. I read a gpdd and see that several of our little ones 
have been lost to us, crossed the Bridge where they'll be happy and healthy 
once again.
     Forgive me for for not knowing of these crossings, and all of you who 
have lost their beloved little ones -- please accept my condolences.
     Each piggy that has been loved leaves a hole in our hearts, but how 
fortunate for each of these piggies to have had someone to love and care for 
him/her. We truly do something of worth when we commit ourselves to the care of one 
or more of these precious creatures.

Wishing comfort to all,
Alge and the Jolly Rodents
