Growin' up fast!

The kids are growing up fast; seems like only last month they were pinkies.... oh wait - they were ; )

Their adult hair is just starting to come in and they all feel like little woolly lambs right now! I have very little doubt about whose daddy anymore - their underfur has turned very light, and their bellies have lightened up a lot too, so I do think that they'll roan out. I was looking at some "old" pictures of daddy (taken like 6 months ago) and noticed how much he's lightened up just since then; the process doesn't stop, they just keep bleaching out all their lives : )

The kids spend most of their days either lounging around or wrestling each other. LOTS of "Smackdown" matches going on in my house ; ) My mom calls them my "fleas" because they'll pop and hop around the cage just like popcorn (a nicer image). They're also really starting to crave attention - when you come near the cage at least a few will stand on his/her hind legs and ask to come out. A little boy that I've been calling Blacky (just because he's the only one with no tummy spot) is always the first one up your arm. They all love to cuddle, play and chatter up a storm when they come out. Most also show their momma's natural inclination to want to pee in the cage (if you give them breaks every ten or fifteen minutes) which is nice ... though the want to poop there would be nice too ; ) Overall they're wonderful, energetic little balls of fuzz!!
