I got a bit confused ealier, lol! I posted the following on the thread about veiled's growth, thinking it was your thread about Tilly! Yup! I'm not quite with it today, lol! Here is what I posted on that thread (the one that I thought was yours but wasn't!) Lol! What a dimwit!
My post:
Amy's food intake dropped a lot at 6 months or so around the time that she got her big girl colours. She is about the same age as Tilly. They actually never stop growing, hence the occasional shedding as adults. Amy shed every month until she got to 6 months, then it slowed right down to every 3 months. Lily used to shed every 3 months also. I haven't noted down exact timing for Tommy, but I think he is about the same.
I love the females' smaller, more rounded body shape! Although Tommy is gorgeous, I just love the little females, they are just so cute! Have you weighed and measured Tilly at all?
I know I worry about her nails!! Are they supposed to be that sharp and long lol. Tiff I haven't weighed her for a while but it might be worth while doing so.
She'll need those nails to dog a hole to lay in! Plus they ned them t grip branches, etc! I know they don't do our skin any good, but a good string grip coupled with those talons is a good thing! Amy grips my fingers so tight it makes my eyes water, lol! But it's ok, at least she is strong and healthy!
Hehe, well her nails are deadly sharp! But no signs of digging yet. No signs of nothing lol. She's still a pig and a nutter. Tried limiting her food but I do feel so bad when I know she wants more! But I don't want her to be a fatty (even though I do think she's carrying a bit opf timber!)
She is strong too, she headbutted me by accident and bruised my hand ouch! She also grabbed Joe's septum and ouch it looked painful!
