OK, here are the updated baby pix, the oldest (Fuzzy's baby) is almost three weeks old and parents have started mating again. The other two are Squiggles babies (the WF is almost three weeks old as well, the lutino is around two weeks old) and all are doing AMAZING!! Not sure on the gender of the oldest Squiggles baby or the Fuzzy's baby but the lutino is a girl and is being called Angel. She's going to my mom this summer. Anyways, enough babbling, here's the babies!!!
They're bigger than their parents....well most of them. Bubbles weighs in at 104g when not breeding so she's on the bigger side. But big babies are always a good thing!!! lol
Yes this actually really surprised me, I figured he was split cinnamon because his sister was cinnamon but I had no idea he was split pearl! Love the surprises in the box!
I completely forgot I had updated photos on my phone...the lutino is just a lutino, making me think the pearl gene is on the same allele as the cinnamon gene (hence the cinnamon pearl baby lol.) Both are really starting to look like birds, have been caught perching and my hubby caught the lutino trying seeds today (he's calling her an ostrich now because she jammed her whole head in the food lol). The lil Fuzzy (Fuzzy Jr lol) is starting to get his face feathers in now that mama Bubbles has started clutch #2 and he's been leaving the box. Although she does let him sit on the eggs when he's in the box with her.
They are so cute and adorable! I love how they have big black eyes and how the have tiny stubby crests, with a bald spot on the top of their head! congrats!
They have started to try seeds (well Squiggles babies has, Fuzzy's baby is still kinda clueless) and flying. Not very coordinated but that will come with practice. They are getting SO big!
