Boy?!

Postby crm2000 » Tue Jun 04, 2013 4:32 pm

Hi there :D ! I got Percy out today and was deciding what treat to give him/her since I fell asleep and missed his/her feeding ... again. As usual he/she started pooping so I watched in case I could see any male organs I did not so I thought he/she was probably a girl but then I saw this. Do you guys think its a sperm plug :noknow: .I know its not string by the way. Thanks! :)

Nope, that's called a urate.

Oh.... very hard to tell. Any chance you could post a bigger picture, or crop it down to the area you are wanting us to look at?

I see some residue of something.. might be a little squirt of pee or a sperm plug.. isn't the urate more toward the bottom of the picture?

I know about the urate that's the white stuff I am talking about the barely visible string thing in the middle of the picture.

No those are helpful though I wasn't sure because of how it wasn't that close to his poop and urate.

They aren't always close. Sometimes there isn't any poop at all.

I know sometimes my Meraukes, especially Xaunder, just kinda drip out pee.. sometimes even milky, and it looks just like this.. but it could be a dried up sperm plug.. :noknow:
