Small update. As the male grew he developed a very pronounced hip deformity. He walked with his pelvis curved inward, but his legs splayed outward. It produced an odd gait and, from the stiffness of movement, appeared painful. It got worse the larger he got. He also grew much more slowly than littermates. The female had not yet begun to exhibit any of those issues, but I felt like in all probability that she would as she grew larger. She was also smaller than her littermates.
They were culled from the colony as well as the male and the two females that produced them. I'll be bringing in some fresh bloodlines and watching for any more of these guys to pop up. Unfortunate ending, they were the cutest.
