Runt of the litter?

[Timesink]

My Jackson's babies are a little over a month old, and growing fast. All except, it appears one of the eleven. This little guy (girl, maybe?) has stayed tiny, and I've been making sure it gets fruit flies around it at feeding time, while its siblings have moved on to crickets.

The photos are not at an angle; the camera more or less parallels the perch. I'm wondering if it is a she and this is normal (but then the rest of the litter would have to all be males), or it is some sort of dwarf aberration, or is it simply the run of the litter and will be a small one.

They're all cute and fascinating regardless.

It may be the runt of the litter. I took in all the runts off the forum for a good couple years. I found most of them did fairly well if given a lot of TLC. Even at a month I would keep it alone, to make sure it has food and isn't bullied or even hurt by accident. If you don't want the work of raising it I will take a runt one more time. I haven't taken any in 2 years but for some reason I will take that one. PM me if you want to talk.

Laurie...your title "chameleon slave" is too fitting for you! You are the nicest person! Just an FYI, in case you didn't know!

Thanks but I am just like you and all the rest are. We all love chams!
