Just from his characteristics and difference in behavior. He's more of a digger and a swimmer and has alot more attitude. Obviously these aren't rock solid differences but i did think i definately have two different sexed boscs rather than the same, based on behavior patterns.


I'd be more inclined to think that those differences reflect the size/age difference rather than sexes. Until they are both adults, you can't really compare them by behaviour or anything else.

ok well obviously i know its nothing accurate to go by.

I have a really bad headache right now and i have an idiot telling me my bosc is mistreated and underfed.

Apparently the below pic (apologies for the size if its too big) is an example of him in defensive stance, yet he only does this when he has swallowed food, presumably in either to get food fully down his throat or have a stretch from having his mouth wrapped round his rat or whatever.

ive only seen him do it once or twice and i never thought of it as being defensive as he doesnt show any signs of agression whilst doing it. The person who is saying this doesnt particularly like me as i openly object to her 'theories' of bosc taming and training. Kissing and drowning in the bath isnt exactly training in my opinion Wink

you're giving them more credit than they deserve by letting it bother you
