That is the question. :) <grin> >You really have to go by the paper work - but if there are no dots or only >one dot, it is definitely not a MFF. I was under the impression that they put a dot on the right if it was a boy and on the left if it was a girl (or vice verse) when they were born. Then, when they're neutered, they add another dot. I had a ferret who I thought only had one dot, but one day when I was examining the ears very closely for ear mites, I saw the second dot. It was hidden in a brown patch of fur and not easily seen. --Barb-- [Posted in FML issue 1472]
