Baby Apu

My little guy ate last night. I brought him home on Sunday, and I know I should let him settle in for a week or so. But it was feeding day, so I thought I’d go ahead and see what happened.

I put in a small rat pup, and he went right for it! I hope this is a sign of good things to come! He is 111grams (grow little guy grow!)

I still can’t find my camera #$%^@^&%&!!!!!
I found an old disposable that had one pic left. I’ve attached that pic. (It looks like *&@#% - I think the camera went bad) I guess I’ll have to take some pics with the video camera.

Anyway his name is Apu (like the guy who runs the Quickie Mart on the Simpsons).
This is how we came up with that name:
His name had to start with an "A" - since he is an "Albino". It is Hindi for "Unique", and he took a poo on the way home, so it only fit to name him Apu.

Thanks for looking,
Ken

Congratulations!!!

I too fed my little girl the day after she arrived home. Like you...it was "feeding day" so I tried it. She's been eating like a little pig ever since. She was 128 grams 1 week after that feeding back on April 1st. She is currently 680 grams and snuggling in after just eating a medium sized rat.

I guess what I'm saying is...maybe yours gobbling up the rat pup is a sign of good things to come like you hope.

Good luck.
