were all female. The problem was some where hypos some were not. And a number look different. My theory on that one was retained sperm from the Jungle male the previous year, and all the slugs (half the litter was slugs) were males.

Anyway, I have been hearing that young males are the cause for these results. It makes sense for nature to have a back up, I just want to know how and why it works, lol. I think this needs to be explained more.

I haven't spoken to Celia recently but she was getting DNA testing done. I brought up the point that if some sample can be tested from the slugs if it is possible to determine what their sex would have been. I completely forgot about that litter with all the excitement this year and haven't checked back on it.
