: : I have had a rescued Ig, named "Ig", who I have had nearly a year now. I have been told that Ig is a she, but, also that Ig is a he. How can I tell for sure? Ig has never tried to nest, and sometimes bobs it's head at it's relflection, or when another animal is near by. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance!

: Your ig needs to be sexually mature to be sure it's a he or she. A male will have enlarged pores on it's inner thighs, will have a "jowly" look (the big discs on the side of the head -- they can look almost swollen), and sometimes males will get aggressive or leave "sperm plugs" during breeding season. It took me until mine was almost l-l/2 (just last month) to be sure it was a "he".

: All iggies bob, so you really can't tell that way.
