How Could I Be So Thick? *cringe*
I could have kept this quiet; after all, none of you would have known if I didn't say anything ;) I'm dying of embarrassment but I'm sure you'll all get a good laugh out of it.
Wait for it...
This is so embarrassing...
Okay, I'm ready to let you all in on a little secret...
Are you ready?
William The Bloody Rat is...
A GIRL!
Bloody hell! How could I have made a mistake like that? The only thing I will say in my defence is that holding a squirming baby rat whilst trying to stop the other rats escaping is a hard task.
Okay, you can all stop laughing now :D
So "William" has now been renamed Willow. Let's just hope she doesn't have an identity crisis because of my balls up (ha, ha).
So how did I finally figure this out? Well I decided to let "William" out for "his" first run in the house. I blocked off the entrance hall in our house and sat in there with "him" so I could make sure "he" didn't get up to too much mischief. As it was, "he" was more interested in me than running around. Therefore, I had a good chance to really hold "him" and check "him" out. Imagine my surprise when I realised "he" was missing some vital bits and pieces! ;) I must admit that it is difficult to tell the difference when they are small so lets hope I've got it right this time and she doesn't suddenly grow dangley bits over night :D
I'm off now to hide in a hole ;)
*HUGS* TOTAL!
give spikestoy more *HUGS*
Get hugs of your own
