I'm proud to report that...

now all four RF's (not including the new baby) are coming out on their own to eat! Today is "weighing and measuring day", and all four have grown and gained weight! Makidach gets the award for most growth in the past month - 1/4" of an inch (the others did 1/8"); and Ashi gets the award for most weight gain in the past month (no surprise there, the way she eats!) at .4 ounces (the others did approx. .2 ounces).

Smile

Here's a couple of pics I took today...

Makidach - I LOVE all her yellow!

And Shuto...

I know this picture is blurry but Shuto wanted to check the camera out... I just think this expression was priceless!

I love the last one! Makes you wonder what they are thinking when they look right at you. Glad to hear they are all doing well.

I'm wondering tho... do females sometimes have "waists"? Sasoi is developing a waist, so I'm wondering if she isn't turning male on me.

I'll get some in a couple of days, Danny, and post them! Since I "traumatized" her today by getting her weight and measurements, I'll give her a couple of days to recup!
