This will be the thread I return to if I ever become impatient with little baby spoods. Progress is so satisfying, even if it's vicarious

 

[StormyMyth729]

Yes, they are actually the same individual. I had given him to a friend, but she got concerned about him and gave him back to me. I chose this one for her, because he was the most robust and farthest along.
The girl I kept back was the opposite - she was well behind the rest and I didn't think she would make it. Now they are both doing well and I have a male for future breeding to my adult females. It worked out really well to get one of each sex.
