I want to talk about size. In particular, the sizing and sizes of our precious Redfoots. My little Anna Karenina will soon turn six, and she is already 12 inches SCL. 12 inches! She eats like an offensive lineman, goes to the bathroom everyday, and is light as a feather. I mean like 9 lbs or so!
The thing that has me freaking out a bit is, altho Anna goes outside as much as she can, I am forced to keep her in a terrarium here in Chicago because of the inclement weather. Come late May, she'll be frolicking in the park everyday and doing what she does best (attracting the attention of outdoor passersby, getting her picture taken a million times a day, essentially being the diva that she is).
So the thing that's freaking me out is I just don't know how big Anna's going to be, and I'm scared she'll eventually going to outgrow her enclosure. If she's already 12 inches at less than 6-years-old and she's growing 3.5 inches per year (as she has been), well you can do the math...Anna may make it to 18 or even 20 inches. Her weight, I'm sure, will eventually catch up with her length, but I'm trying to budget for the future here.
Any ideas?
and p.s. I'd do *anything* for Anna. It's Anna's world, and if I have to move to FLA or CA to get her outdoors, I may just do that!
