Popping

I pop them. If I get hemepenes I know its a male. If I don't get hemepenes I then probe them to be sure they are female. Ron

If you have never done this before, I would have someone experienced show you. It doesn't take much to damage an animal.

....too much error in popping...even the well-known breeders...there's still about 1% of probed animals that are difficult to interpret...IMHO...sjm
