    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Can a Rosy be a male if it has no spurs?

My friend has a Rosy that he says the vet probed and told him was a male. I have held it many times and it has NO spurs? Can it actually be a male if it doesn't have spurs?
 
I've never seen a male without spurs before...but what I have seen are people probe rosy females and mistakenly think they are males.
I've never been wrong(as far as I know) visually distinguishing males & females by the spurs.
Sometimes females can have diminutive spurs, making it difficult to pick them out, but, like I said, I've never seen a male without spurs.
 
I was right. My friend called my today to tell me that my male Rosy had started mating with the female Rosy that a Vet had probed and told my friend was also a male. But I saw it didn't have any spurs so I didn't believe it was a male.
