Default Re: Newbie that was led astray

sorry guys, totally didnt notice replies, i thought i subscribed to this thread,

happy to say i ordered from fox valley, 2 days!!!! at my door! thanks Nick!!! even after the duties it was a small price to pay to see these lil fuzzballs thrive

these lil guys love it, theyve packed on the weight and its consistant, although im starting to think Shade is the runt of the litter, shadow is ahead by miles, has thick coat, bigger head, has almost a two tone fur to him while Shade is a solid jet black, its almost like Shade is 5 days behind Shadow,, the weight difference is almost 10grams but they gain at the same rate... but happy and lovin life so ill take that as a win.

shadow (left) Shade ( right)-



and the awww pic for the day

that wasn't an "awww" from me -- that was an "oh, my GAWD how GORGEOUS!!!!" I am so happy that the kids are doing well and you got your FV. Don't worry about the difference in weights; that's totally normal. In fact, it's why you won't find a chart of "typical weights" of baby grey squirrels anywhere -- there is waaay too much difference even within the same litter, let alone in different geographical areas. Long as they are steadily gaining and looking as terrific as your babies, all is well! Good job!

EEK!!!

They look just like my little guys, and almost exactly the same size. We should race and see who opens their eyes first.
