The parents are from a Kingsville red dam and a Stillwater sire.
Alfonzo is 1026 grams now and Zoey is 834 grams. They have just emerged from breeding season and are now feeding heavily, so I expect they will be quite a bit heavier by the end of summer. They are slightly over three years old.
Them getting it on this spring!
Their offspring from last year. Rozy weighed 33 grams upon hatching. The other four babies averaged about 28.5 grams each.
An older picture of the clutch. Have since moved the three normal looking little brothers to another cage, leaving just Rozy and Moz in the big cage. The three little ones weigh 770 grams total (about 260 each more or less), Moz weighs 426 grams, Rozy weighs 824 grams.
Not only is Rozy naturally bigger, she has an enormous appetite, too. Recently she was so hungry she bit me when I reached in to pick her up. "Like, can I eat this big thing?" (my arm) So I make sure now to keep this monster well fed!
