Somali questions

flbriaz Jul 31, 2005 07:44 PM

Just wondering if anyone knows what age somali's reach full maturity? I read they reach it around 2 years. I was also wondering how bright the females get? My boyfriend and i recently got a pair of Somalii's; one not nearly as colorful as the other. He's not sure its a Somali; i think it may just be a female.

I can't say anythign about ages for them, but the color varies. The females are not necessarily less colorful than the males. The males I have are heavy on the blue with less yellow and some of the females are blue with yellow while others have been tan with blue. Some of the tan ones I've seen starting to go yellow but I couldn't say whether it's inevitable for them all.

Keep an eye on them, make sure they're eating, etc.

of course, thanks you. They'll be in quarantine for a week or two, under close observation, away from our mali and saharan.
