hello everyone. i have 1.1 cb '08 ridleyi, 1.0 just under 5ft and 0.1 just under 4ft, that are totally unrelated. i have 2 questions about the female.

first of all, any idea of why she musks? she is out of the nippy stage but still musks every time i pic her up. is musking a normal thing for ridleyi? i don't think the male ever has musked.

second, concerns her muscle tone and strength. ever since i got her she seems like she doesn't have as much power and strength as the male. she looks healthy and pounds every mouse that comes into sight and is relatively active. it's just a drastic change from holding the male and her. if it were in human terms, it would be like he feels like he could bench press 400lbs and she could barely lift the bar. that make any sense???

looking for experience and or feedback. thanks...

jonathan
