Isn't that odd...in my experience (I currently have twelve in the household- ten of mine, a shelter kid here for biting rehab, and a boarder) my males have a much higher hit rate. In fact out of the cage, most of my males are still 100%. My girls drop to 30-40%. I have noticed that the hobs are the best of the bunch with the box- anal glands intact- maybe you are on to something there! -Anne [Posted in FML issue 2035]
