New baby

ladywhipple02 Jul 14, 2005 04:46 PM

Hey all! I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to sex a ball? I now have two babies... the first was sexed for me, a male. The second I just bought today. I'm calling it a her because she's half again as big as the first baby. She's a beauty, too, really energetic, crawling all over her cage checking things out. I've fallen in love already Anyway, any help would be appreciated.

Also, any ideas for names? She's just a normal colored ball but she loves to climb and is very curious. Thanks again!

Popping and probing are the only way to sex a ball - both should be done by someone who knows what they are doing or you could seriously injure the animal.
