Well little Sprocket finally decided to fire up for us tonight so hopefully these pics will show the difference well. I'd say this is about 80% of what I saw the day I bought him when he appeared such a dark chocolatie cutie.

Look whose falling into crestie love...Mike & Little Sprocket....


Now quick questions here. What color would you call Sprocket? Is he what they call a buckskin? His spots are barely there and actually seem to be fading away. What's that odd creamy coloring on his tail all about? Is it odd that he has none of the striping or dorsal markings I see on a lot of cresties?

He's doing really well. Adjusting to handling beautifully, eating like a piggie (loves his worms!) and seems to be growing quite a bit lately.
