New Custards!

I see one of them has already got into the habit of shoving its head through the playpen bars... mine does this constantly. What is it with dwarfies and attempting to get their heads trough tiny spaces?!

Yes, Kipton has taken to trying to chew the playpen! Bingley doesn't seemed to have realised that it is chewable though, which is good!

They are both pretty tame considering their age, and are getting better every day. Kipton has had the occasional nibble of your hand but Bingley never does. They have had the occasional squabble but nothing serious and fingers crossed they wil stay together!

We had exactly the same with both of our ww's, you might remember - they are both a lot better now and only very occasinally nibble. Will says it's like a puppy trying it's teeth and it doesn't bother him but I have to say I don't let myself hold them in a position where they can nibble me as I really don't like it much

Awww, lovely to see those pictures of the babies

Its been kinda quiet in here since all my babies went at Rotherham!!! KnB look in lovely condition, their fur looks so shiney in the pictures.

I look foward to competing against them in a show soon!!

I have just adopted a 10 week old Pearl called Billy. He looks just like Kipton, although a little skinny at the moment. Just like to ask, do the darker markings and dorsal stripe get more prominent and develop with age? Do I see a more darker shading towards Kiptons rear, as Billy appears to have some darker shading in this area aswell. Once he has settled I will get some photos to post and introduce him properly

Yes, Kipton's stripe, head and rear have all gotten darker since we got him! He looks like he has a small hat!
