How many fingers are they supposed to have?

I am sorry if this is a stupid question, but Dale and Chipella only have 4 fingers and 5 toes. Is this correct? They have little stubs for their thumbs. Thoughts anyone?:dono

That is normal,they use the front THUMBS for holding their food. I asked the same question when Rama Rota was a baby.

... can you imagine the mischief, I don't even want to think about it. I let Jewel out of her cage today and I believe she taught herself how to unlock her own cage.

Dale knows how to get out of his cage! OMG…. thank God his bedroom door was closed. He was playing on his cage… I just wonder how he did it… he’s only 6 weeks old! my goodness, he has changed so much from a week ago.. he went from opening his eyes, to unlocking his cage.. :sanp3 Nidia wow!
