He's still advancing. Just slowly. A little more rapidly over the past week. We're seeing some strength in his walking and climbing confidence

Actually over this week he has sprouted into quite the handsome teenager...he's caught right up....guess I was being a paranoid Momma....he's also appearing to be a hairless.

Hi there,
I have two 4-month-old boys (first boys!) now, and am wondering when I can expect to see hormonal behavior, if it comes. Is it usually around the same age? Thanks!

I've had hormones as early as four months as late as a year, but many times they weren't affected at all.

Yep, like dspch911 said, it can be as young as 4 months and they aren't all affected.

Speaking of....these two are brothers. These are the varagesale boys Bandit and Remy. We now have an idea why they were separated. Does it look like Bandit (Smeeze) is posturing but her Remy (blue) is completely non aggressive ?
There was blood shed 15 seconds after this was recorded. Including the human involved. It is strange because both boys are great with the babies alone but together they are like this immediately

Ok bandit is trying to start things then!
We are going to let bandit keep his new family and remys temporary foster is going to take him back and adopt one of my big ol boys Germain to be buddies should a meeting go well.
She has the cage Remy has come with. So she is already set. We kept her on standby should there he just this problem. She fell quite in love with Remy when he stayed with her so she can't see him going anywhere else

These 7 wee dumbos were just surrendered. They are 7 weeks old...is it just me or do they look awfully small? I'm guessing we have some cases of MC, two babies have already passed before getting here..the on call mobile vet is 45 mins away...so I have to wait roughly an hour. Anything I can do? I am scouring the forums but if there are any big do's or dont's here I would appreciate.
Feed? What?
Water? Electrolytes?

Are there pics of the wee ones?

Been trying to post. Keeps saying I can't
Let me try again
Sorry they are blurry. They are still active. Just small and one is lethargic.
Vet doesn't want to rule out mega colon but nothing for sure confirms it for him yet as he didn't see them before weaning and eating solids. He said to call at any sign of distress from any of them.

Oh boy, they don't look ok... MC maybe? I would PM Peggy or lilspaz. They would know.

It does look like MC then? That's unfortunately what I thought.
I will call the vet again.
I had to massage a poop out of that wee one. It was very dense and sticky almost. He was very happy to have me massage his tummy.

Ok so I have a nakie boy Bumper. He is about 2.5 months. He was the runt of Mings litter (2nd litter we bad born in april)
Only he's not 100% which I know is normal...but the hair he does have seems odd. Like it's long and only slightly krimpy like he's got Harley and rex genes

By the time he reaches 4 months old, that might be all gone. The fact that he's got harley explains the length of the hair.

He doesn't knowingly have the Harley gene. He just looks like he might also....can they have both the rex and Harley gene?

We don't know that he has the Harley gene. He just looks like he might....can they have both the rex and Harley coat gene?

Oh I don't know why I read that like he had the harley gene. I'm not sure if they can have both genes.
