Thanks Cliff, I bought her as a cb11 and was told she was an early cb11, which would make her 2 years old. I was told she was a poor feeder initially and I do think for an early cb11 she is probably on the small side, she is roughly 4' in length and weighed 448g when I weighed her last night, I know she was empty because she had shed and pood the night before. She looks healthy, sheds in one piece and eats ok, going to move her up a food size very soon. |

Thanks Cliff  I am really pleased with her, just wish my male Indigo would grow, he was a late cb11 but only weighed 214g when weighed at the beginning of July |

Some of them grow much slower than others...I suspect it's due to the Mom's condition (how many years in a row she bred, whether the litter was dropped early) and early feeding (which if slow and/or low may get babies off to a slow start). The good news is they almost all eventually catch up. |

Thanks smart bunny - I can't believe how much she has grown, just got some large rat weaners in for her, probably long over due but I would rather be careful and take longer to up feed sizes, rather than have regurges. |

Last night Ruby had the smallest of the large rat weaners from the pack of 10 I purchased - it went down with out any problems  I would rather her growth was slower than risk stomach upsets and possible health issues, I know she wont starve as she gets fed weekly
