OMG! What a big surprise!

Today I went to cut Nepo'snails and I found out he weighs almost 5 lbs. He is 9 or 10months.

Well that's not the surprise. Ready?Nepo..............is a girl!:shock:. I'm really surprised, I can'tstart thinking of him as a girl!I've hadhim(her!:X)for 9 months.What will his(her!:X) newname be? My sister thinks it should be Luna (moon in spanish)It's really pretty, but it will be a big change. The lady at the petshop said she thought Nepo was a girl because she couldn't seetesticles when she checked. Thereisa weird part-Nepo is really aggressive to be a girl, are does also aggressive? Butthereis somethingthat is logic: She(finally!) lovesto be petted. Today she (it sounds weird) let me trance her in thecar, maybe it was because it was dark and she liked the movement of thecar. I know a lot of you have experienced this. Maybe I'mover reacting a little:?.

Is Nepo a masculine name in some language that I'm not aware of? If not, why not keep the name?

Males or females can be agressive, so it's not weird at all.

I'll give some thought to some names and post them later.

She has a point, it sounds unisex to me.

I wouldn't bet on it yet. Are you goingby the girl at the petstore's advice? I know someone who hada male, the vet said it was a female and was preparing to spay thislittle guy. Turned out his testicles were just VERY tiny andsome don't descend......

Maybe pam can give you some hints to find out forsure..... I know she did for someone else who was having troubleidentifying sex.

This bunny I mentioned was about Nepo's age when they were preparinghim for surgery..... they were shaving him and found his littlenubs...... sneaky little guy huh?

If it makes you feel better I have had Timothyfor 4 years now. And I think he might be a she..... :shock:Soyou are a lot faster then I am at figureing it out. The place we gothim from said he was a he but I'm not finding anything to say that heis a he.....

Alls I know is dont ask Buck he's confuzzled himself LOL JK

Anyway Nepo isn't a bad name I'd keep it reguardless it does sound unisex and the bun is used to hearing it.
