Growth spurt

Thomas S. May 17, 2003 04:20 PM

My Argentine was 32" when I got her a year and a half ago and is now 64"! May not be that amazing to some of you but it is to me. She was supposedly regurging if you fed her more than once every two weeks when I first got her(I never saw that) so I started her off slow. Now she eats everything in sight and still acts like I'm starving her. She's almost 3 years old now and like I said was started slow. I think she will be a monster someday.

Looking back over my records, the first 6 months she only grew 5". The past 12 months she has grown 27".
