April 25, 200718 yr Author Here are some photos of Mammoth taken today. He spends a lot of time in the food dish now he knows he can feed himself, eating and the rest of the time sleeping when he is not trying to bite the feet of his green stepbrother Edited April 25, 200718 yr by Kaz

He's seems to be the same body size as his real father, just lacking in length at the moment. Yes. He will get bigger and the way he is eating he will fill out a bit more really soon. the millet is MINE, all MINE !!

April 27, 200718 yr Author The "family" of Curry and Laila and 7 children have all moved into a larger cage and they are having an absolute BALL in there. The babies that had previously just huddled in a corner are climbing and flying everywhere already in just minutes. I will take pictures later. :ausb: PS Cheeta...they are in the cage I got from you :oliveb:
