Posted - 26/06/2011 : 11:48:33 I've just bought two new Royals with intention to breed them when they're big enough. This one in the picture is supposed to be the female - Marge - but when i had her out today i noticed these things either side of the vent, having only kept corns, i've never seen them before. They are quite obvious and are hard to the touch,the only thing i can liken them to is cats claws! I was just wondering if they were normal and if so does this mean that Marge should be a Homer??
Thanx in advance |

Posted - 26/06/2011 : 12:01:43 hi yeah they are normal. both males and females have these spurs, i think they are what used to be legs many many years ago. males spurs are ment to be longer than females, but this is not a sure way of sexing |
