    The female is the result of a multigeneration cross (Parents were 50% Jampea het Purple x 50% Jampea het Purple with some seleyar). Her line is smaller in respect to influence. She's just a big girl and was always and is a strong feeder.

    And yes, the male is where I believe him to be full grown. He hasn't added much length in recent sheds, just girth.

    Sidenote: Goldenchilds are from a dwarf local - this COULD add to the fact of why he's on the smaller spectrum as well.

    Always learning something new on this thread, most dwarfs I see still seem too big for me to manage, even some of the SD crosses look big to me, that golden child doesn't look to unmanageable. Will he always feed on rats or do you think you will have to step him up to rabbits?

    He's on rabbits right now (2lb bunny every other week. Xxxl eat every other week between that). However, he would do just fine on rats his entire life. I just use rabbits because they are almost as cheap since I get them locally.

    Ryan Parker still has Karompa and a couple other folks have individuals. It's still said to be the smallest of the small. Ryan should be crossing into it next year. Problem is, only a handful were imported before the ban on importation took place.

    Not from my personal collection. I never ended up getting into them, as I pushed more into Dwarf land and kept my current SD stuff. Retic Nation occasionally show cases them from one or two of the members. Ryan hasn't been posting much of what he has at the moment, he's working on something lol.
