Here's another two pictures (Mugshot) to show everyone how tiny these beasties are... They're active today having had their first meal.

Wow, tiny little guys, aren't they? Did you have to force/assist feed or did they take on their own?

Well...I met them half way. After numerous strikes and letting go, I pinned their whole bodies with my palm against a pillow, paying attention where the head was of course. I forced the fuzzy thigh into thier mouth a gently as possible and let them go. They sat there for a moment, then started swallowing it on their own.

Hi,

Yes, those are Centimeters. They really are adorable, very fast little buggers. Took some time to get them to sit still to take those pictures.

I hope they do well too, as they add to my colony's genetic diversity.

Cheers!
