I don't think they have been power fed. I feed all my babies once a week and when they get a bit older I go to biweekly. Superior genetics, the perfect storm, who knows. Their growth pattern for their age is abnormal, but that doesn't mean they are being cared for improperly. I hope I didn't convey that type of message, I'm sure Chris wasn't saying that either.

I have a colony of mice that produce pinkies every thirty days and these guys grow twice the rate of any of my other colonies. I treat them identical to all the rest, except, I've been holding back the females and putting them in other colonies to pass on the superior genetics. No rhyme or reason to it, they just grow bigger and faster then the rest.
