Piebald Project 2010

Okay, after probing these guys and re-popping I can say I've got 2 girls and 2 boys.

From the above pics, the first two are the females and the bottom two are the males.

Well, three of the four have finally taken their first meal. The only one that hasn't eaten yet is the little female with kink on the tip of its tail.

yeah mouse hoppers!!!

Been a while since I updated this thread.



First up, the girls...


Female #1 - This is the little girl with the kink on her tail. She had a slow start but is now pouncing on rat fuzzies without any hesitation. I have no doubts she'll grow quickly now that she's made the switch from mice to rats.



Female #2 - Never a missed meal. She's getting chunkier and she's mellowed out quite a bit over the past few weeks with more handling. She was a little spitfire before. lol



And then the boys.. who would have to be going into a shed cycle for pics..



Male #1 - So much calmer than he was just a few weeks ago. He's a slow eater - it can take him a few moments to realize there is food waiting for him and by the time he's finally started swallowing it, his siblings have already finished. That's okay, though. It's not a race. He really didn't want to uncoil for this photo.



Male #2 - I actually prefer the busy pattern and alien heads on this guy because it makes him stick out from the rest of the clutch. It's hard to tell in the pic because he's going into shed, but he's slightly darker in coloration than the rest as well. I'm a sucker for the oddballs in a group.
