Blu is a boy!!!
He dropped his first ( to my knowledge ) sperm plug! He's a couple days shy of around 11 months old and its kind of exciting to finally know his gender. Thanks, have a good day

Re: Blu is a boy!!!
At what age do they start dropping them? A friend of mine has an 8 or 9 month old Northern that I swear is already leaving them around the cage!

Re: Blu is a boy!!!
I've had mine for 7 years so I'm going to guess it's a girl. Still waiting on those sperm plugs to drop....
The vet said her calcium is fairly high which is normally an indication of a female as well....Also she can be a huge *checkerboard at times, which is a fair indication.

Re: Blu is a boy!!!
I too would be curious to know roughly what age they start dropping them if they are males, my little guy is only a month old so a long way of, also do they drop them at any time or only during breeding season?
Cheers, Nicholas.

Re: Blu is a boy!!!
They can drop them any time of the year but it's much more prevalent around mating season.
My youngest that I've noticed was 7 months old.

Re: Blu is a boy!!!
@Teacup: Thank you, I'm very excited to finally find out!!! I really thought he was a girl for a couple of months, so this was very surprising!
@splashy07 what Susann said... Lucky for him it was around the cage, my little guy dropped it on my bed lol.
@Ddpotanks that's interesting about the calcium levels ill have to keep that information handy, I'd agree with you that it is a female if its been that long.
@NickBrahz I'm not sure if they can produce them at that age but like Susann said they can be dropped year round
@Susann I admire your knowledge, can't wait till I'm at your level of experience.
Sorry for the late replies, have a good night.
