Sex change!

When we got Button we was told by the pet shop that we had got a a Female.

But over the past few days Button has been humping our legs when ever we walk around in shorts.

So a few minutes ago she did it again so we picked her up and turned her over and had a look, and there was a pink think sticking out!!

So the pet shop got it wrong?!

Now we need to change the name!
 
my first rabbit was called button, he was a girl for about a year and then turned out to be a boy! i took him to the vet for a check up and a nail trim, and asked the vet what the big pink buts were underneath him as they looked a little sore, he told me they were testicals! :oops: oppsie!

I still keps him as button, as i thought it was a good unisex name. More convienient than the name i first planned, can you imagine how embarrased he would be if i had called him rosie!!!

On another funny sex change note (it always used to happen to me) we had a male cat called Holly (he was a girl for 3 months and we couldn't change his name then, he answered to it!), various male hamsters with names like Daisy, Portia and Matilda (i did manage to get a few right though, casper and Beethoven were male!) and one of my current cats was called Harry for a week! we have two females but i swear they looked different when i tried to sex them. mia (formerly Harry) had a convieniently placed lump of hair making it difficult and we thought she was a boy! I have decided i am an absolute failure when it comes to sexing animals and i should now leave it to the vet.
