Atomic, Kitsune and Seven

Yup the babies now have names :D And I managed to get some lovely pictures of them. I temporarily split the explorer in two and they have the bottom, I am hoping to move all the girls together when the babies are about 8 weeks, when I start gradually reducing their extra meals until they are on normal adult diet by about 12 weeks. They are loving the space and are making good use of the igloos and ropes. Very confident babies. They have also been freeranging too which they are loving. Here are a "few" pics

Quinn

I dont think that he realises that he is nearly three years old lol. Just gone on the nightly feeding round (green pepper tonight) he shot out of his cage and went for a pootle, even though his hindlegs are quite weak. Afterwards he pulled himself back into his cage, he can still move quite well. One hindleg looks weaker than the other but he seems more sprightly since I cut down the wheat in his diet and added linseed to the mix, aswell as giving them salmon oil and hemp seed. Not sure if it is coincidental.

Babies still have no definate names- it is so hard to name babies I find, adult names feel a bit big for them. Plus their personalities are still coming out. The baby with the small nick in her ear is very outgoing and loves coming out for cuddles. They have already visibly grown, wanting to move them into the explorer when they are 8 weeks. I bet they will love all the space.
