    2 months later!!

    Well Finally I am home for spring break! And after 2 months I was able to see my BP again. Just last week he broke his fast, having not ate for almost 4 months. He didn't lose much weight at all. And I decided to measure him. And what a surprise that was! He was 32 inches 2 months ago. And today he is 41.5 inches long! 9.5 inches in 2 months that is incredible to me! I didn't even know that was possible!!

    Here are some pics:




    the pictures were taken with my phone so not the best lol

    Re: 2 months later!!

    Aww, what a cutie!! It is amazing how fast they grow. I remember when my bp was only about 8 inches long, and now 3 years later she's a little over 4 feet. It's hard to believe she was ever that tiny.

    And that shows how efficient their metabolisms are too, being able to keep growing at that rate even without eating. Very cool

    No wonder he broke his fast. After a growth spurt like that, I can see why he was ready for a rat.

    Today was feeding day! And he ate again!
    Yea he isn't as fat anymore , but I'm sure with a few more rats he will be long and fat. haha.
    He seems to be a lot stronger though. I'm not sure why.
    I'm excited to see how long he is going to get. :]
    I knew babies grew fast but not a 3-4 yr old!
    The weird thing is he didn't shed for 2 months either so... that old skin must have been a tight fit! No mis measuring either. lol I am sure of it.
    Has anyone else experienced a growth spurt like this in an adult?
