Just had to share this little mishap which is totally my fault
When we got little Lizzie almost four weeks ago, the girl at the pet shop was not sure of the sex and said it was hard to tell when they were so young. I assumed he was a she because the rear end looked like Macy's, and there was no "protrusion" around the tail (as this can be very prounced in some males). After almost three weeks of taming, however, I was able to geat a really good look at the belly and tail area, and boy oh boy, is he a boy!! I compared his anatomy to some really good illustrations online, and Lizzie could have been the model for the male syrian!
After much debate over whether to keep the name as is (not thinking he would really care one way or the other
), the family concensus was to give him a boy name. Earlier this week, we decided to name him "Danny Boo." Danny, after Danny Zucko from Grease for the dark hair (and since we've been watching the new reality show seeking a new Danny and Sandy for Grease on Broadway)...and Boo as a middle name because my youngest wanted to call him Boo Boo. It's been weird but we're getting used to it. In any event, we love him as much as ever and are thrilled that we can really interact with him now!
Elizabeth Grace is a BOY!
When they are very small you can see the nipple lines which are only present on the female. Good to hear he has a new name too. Great family decision!
