Meet Turkey

Well as some of you may have read a few weeks ago Tiki and Caesar decided to start another clutch. Everything was going well, everyone was fed and warm but then as we all know Caesar can be her mood switched dramatically!! She left the babies with nothing and seeing as last time she did this she plucked her babies we took them out straight away. We started with 4 and we now have one tough survivor!! He/she has been dubbed Turkey, since when he sees us and during feedings he sounds like a turkey.

 

So, any way here he/she is:

I look pretty good for being 2 weeks and 2 days old.

Enough for now, snuggling up with his giraffe.

 

I love seeing what they'll turn out to be. He/she is my first hand reared baby, we've been doing this for about a week now and he seems to be doing very well. Can't tell if you can see in the pictures but Turkey is definitely going to be a yf, and the dark doesn't seem as dark as on my other babies in the past. Tiki and Caesar have produced a dilute so we shall see. I'll keep you posted on the progress.

Well another week has past by and my oh my the changes that have happened to this little guy are amazing. He is gorgeous, I believe a dilute yellow face type ? dominant pied cobalt, or something of that nature. Anyway, be advised there are a ton of pictures here that may cause cuteness overload!!

 

Enjoy!!!
