They grow up too fast (DUW)

I couldn't be happier who how this girl has grown, but she's grown so fast. :(

I got her last May and she was 209g. I just weighed her today and she is 1048g. She would be bigger, but I pretty much didn't feed anyone for a month because I was on vacation in December. She is a dumpster when it comes to food. It was the best $100 I've spent so far I think. She caught my eye at a show and I just had to take her home. :P

She's nothing special, but there is just something about her that just wows me every time I open her tub. She is 50% het for Caramel Glow, but even if she turns out to just be a normal I don't think I could ever part with her. :D

Here she is when I got her in May:

Here she is today (with the same normal for comparison, the normal has grown a bunch since then but they are on the same pillow :P) :

Lol, I'm sure she would try her best if I offered her a rabbit. She's just a monster when it comes too food, I don't think she's ever refused food. She's eats during shed and will take anything the others refuse (I've seen her down 3 weaned rats in one sitting when she was 600-700g). She's only gained about 93g a month, 104g if you don't count December when she was only fed once. :P

I'm hoping I can get her closer to 2000g for next season. :banana:

I love her golden tones. She has kept them nicely as she has grown. Beautiful example of a normal. :) I have a soft spot for them.

Cant wait till my 200 g hatchlings are that size :) I love the comparison shots

I think that she is definitely something special! I love her color and pattern! What a cute rat eating monster.

Wow, I love when they grow fast. Thanks for sharing.

She is a beauty, thanks for sharing.
