Brief update partially cross posted from my tumblr. Picked up the lesser het clown girl from the local seller on Sunday and she’s a scrawny thing. From the seller’s pic I thought she’d be around 200-ish grams, but when I got to see her in person she had a very triangular shape. Seller got her from a FB auction last August, said she’s a finicky eater, takes only live and goes on strikes a lot. They tried F/T and she wouldn’t have it. Hence why they were passing her on. Well, I’m up for a challenge!
Weighed her when I got her home and she was only 131g. If she had the right body condition to match her size, I’d expect her to be 50 - 70g more. She took a pretty fat adult mouse tonight, and I have a rat pup ordered for her for next week. We’ll see if good husbandry can get her back on track, and when she’s got a bit more meat on her we’ll see about this “eats only live” business.
No name yet, but I’m leaning toward Snickerdoodle. Fits the dessert theme!
