Even down to the smaller one, bigger one. Dexie is considerably larger than Devo, and the male being so very sweet. Devo is just now starting to get attitude every once in a while (like when he hears the tub running!), but he really is s darling. As for what we've been doing to fatten them up, well, I've been making sure they have a variety of regular foods, as well as once or twice a week I give plain pastas (Devo just loves rotinis! it's too cute!!) and I've also been toying with the idea of adding commercial food (pellets) into thier salads along with the guinea pig food that we use, crushed up into the salad. I chose guinea pig pellets as opposed to the rabbit pellets, because the guinea pellets have vit. c added. The also get the regular suppliments like the other babies. But good luck, and it's good to hear that they're eating....but have they POOPED??? *grin* actually, I was wondering about the consistancy...When Devo was first going it VERY much resembled dog poop in consistancy and smell...they were probably feeding him dog food. After a few days of regular iggy salads and sprays of gatorade on his food instead of regular water, it's gotten to normal. But keep us posted, and lets see some pics!!

BTW...Both Devo's and Dexie's Spikes were flopping over to either side of thier backbones. They all stand up very nicely now, and Dexie is in the middle of a very major shed...I pulled about a 5 inch x 3 inch rectangle of skin off his side the other day, and he's let me pick at his unshed spikes, and pull skin off his toes. He's come a long way!!! Yeah!!
