Day 15: They are now exploring the tank and hard as heck to catch. They are not weaned yet, and still spend most of their time in their nest.

Welcome to pre-hopper stage...it's why I call albino hoppers "popcorn" - BOING!

Day 14: ... EYES OPEN!!!!!! Cute little buggers!

Stop biting your nails!!!!

[Beardedragon]

Do you know hard hard it is to stop without any pills or patches or gums?!?!

I think I'm going to stop this post right here, pretty much all that is going to happen over the next 15 days is they will slowly get a little bigger, nothing fancy, and i think people are mainly interested in the pinky- weaner stage anyways

Well thank you very much for this post. It is a great resource for folks considering breeding. You have to finish this thread of course with one of the little buggers getting eaten!!!!

I'm actually curious about how long it takes for them to become "feeder-sized" for an adult BP Auryn's decided that live are all he wants...and PetCo's mice are pretty puny. I've been buying them 3 weeks in advance (keeping 6 at a time), and feeding them up to a bigger size. I'm thinking this summer I might start breeding...but depending on how long it takes for them to grow, it might not be a great idea (I only have one BP!). It's pretty awesome how they just sprouted hair over night!
