Have to take into account, too, that these guys get mostly mice. As babies they were getting more variety, but mice have always been their main food source. As babies they were eating as much as they wanted every two to three days, too. I just let them lead. If they seemed hungry (out cruising looking for food) I fed them. I wish I would have kept up with their growth chart

They're now approaching two years old... where does the time go???... and just yesterday took their first whole uncut fuzzy. I'll try to measure them again soon. Now I'm curious
