me 2...I love them all. My humphrey is about the same age as shorty and has the white growth coming in to. In a way I hate to see him grow up, but in another way I love to see the changes.

shorty had quite a growth spurt! he went from 85 grams on the 23rd to 100grams yesterday. I might have to cut out his afternoon snack... i dont want him to over eat!

1/9/12 100grams 2 1/2"

Don't think so. Humphrey is having a growth spurt at this age too. I think it is normal.
