Hope it's ok, need help sexing.
« on: June 07, 2011, 02:45:59 PM »

Hi guys,
I need some help with sexing this chin I had rescued. I was told "he" was male and never questioned it, but I picked him up tonight to peek, and... I'm almost 100 percent certain he's a she!! I hope it's ok to post chinny bits here, but here it is. Please confirm or deny my suspicions.

i think it's a she as well. what happens between the bits when you gently pull the cone away from the bum? is there a piece of skin that lifts up or is there just a line?

There's nothing there when I try to pull the cone away from the anus... there's no skin flap there at all, so I'm guessing that's a female??

yes! they have a slit between bits that's at 90 degrees to the imaginary line that connects the bits. boys don't have the slit but they have a bit of skin that lifts up.
