"It's not like she can get any more pregnant, right?"

[apocalypsos]

So I had to tell someone that Emmett is a girl (and she's staying an Emmett because ... well, I like that name, damn it, girl or not), so I called my brother and swore him to secrecy.

Bryan: "You mean you didn't figure this out sooner?"
Me: "I mean, I checked and all but I thought she was a boy until I found that extra hole."
Bryan: "Well, what made you look again?"
Me: "Let's just say that Elliot is frighteningly well hung in comparison and I was afraid Emmett was developing a complex."

Let's just say that Elliot is frighteningly well hung in comparison

That's how you tell - male rodents are *huge* in the goolie department.

And while female rodents (well, rats at least) do have that extra hole, it's well-covered except when they're on heat. So it's better to go with "Does the rodent have gigantic testicles? If not, she's a girl," as a general rule.

Oh, and

If she's not pregnant already then she definitely can get more pregnant. And if she *is* pregnant already, then you're going to need to make arrangements for seperating her from Elliot quite soon, or your problem will, um, multiply even more.

Yeah, so I heard. I double-checked a website for information on suddenly finding out your chinchilla was pregnant and it said they have two uteruses. Which probably means a run to the nearest store I can pick up a cage at before work.

They have WHAT?

Oh fucking hell. ISN'T ONE ENOUGH?

Well, it's sweet of you to worry about the emotional health of your animals is such a way...

OMG, that last line made me laugh SOMUCH. Which is bad since I'mat work and one of the supervisors is on the phone and I was eating at the time. So I had to simultaneously try to be quiet and not choke. LOL
