Grown up:D?

Hi,
at how many months is a dwarf considered...well not a teenager I noticed my winter white dwarf calmed down a bit, and he started changing his fur also (so suddenly, it looks so weird).
So maybe he just stopped being such a baby, or he is bored... luckily a new cage is arriving so that should stir him up a little bit and its bigger...
He is now four months old, he was born in january i think.. thanks for any advice. I checked him, he is eating ok, is clean, eyes bright... just fur going darker, LOL!

Sounds like he is going into 'summer coat'. As the days grow longer and temperature increases they will moult into summer coat. He was likely in winter or semi winter coat up till now and yes they do change quite suddenly. We think they look like they are getting a mask at first WW do settle down usually about 6 months I'd say and adopt a routine which can vary depending on the season.

They don't all do it and they sometimes do it at the wrong time of year too! Like winter coat all summer and half changes randomly so you just never know really
