So I've just gone on to adult mice which i was concerned about as he was only on 1/2size but they were smaller in thickness than cornelius, having been speaking to someone they said "at 2 yrs he should be on adults by now" and the mouse was by no means 1.5 times his largest part. I don't know why i worried though as it was no trouble,so i hope he'll start to grow a little bigger now. But isn't it amazing just what the ycan get those little heads over ?. lol

I know the feeling. I didn't think Apollo could possibly manage to eat a small the first time but he did then started looking for more! Greedy boy!

It's always scary for me when my corns go up a size, but they never seem to have any trouble. (apart from with awkward legs sometimes but they figure it out).

That's about how it looked Dan, it was when he got to the legs that I thought he'd struggle but he just walked his jaws over one then the other which blew me away. Can u imagine trying yourself to eat something so large in comparison to your head !!! Oooowwwhhhhhhh
