Thanks guys and thanks jtrux for my little chester. Heres one more pic for you guys. I found that he likes when I take his mazuri as well as whatever else is on the menu chicory,ednive, dandelions,ect and put in a blender and then serve meatball style. Absolutely loves it.

So its been a little over 3 months now ive had chet. Last week was a little stressful I bought a house and moved and for a week or so chet lost his appetite. Dont think he like the 2 hour car ride but all is well and hes eating like a piggy again. Gave him a soak last night and an official weigh in at 195grams. Here are a couple of pics until next time. 1386332346220.jpg1386332363408.jpg1386332378582.jpg and heres one more of my female stinkpot Dini 1386332411434.jpg

Wow, he's growing so much and so smooth. Great job. He's gorgeous. Glad he got over the stress of the move. Like he really had the stress and you didn't :D. Your stink pot is adorable.

I don't get on here much but I got around to getting out the scale today. Chet weighed in at 6.2lbs and is now 2 years old. Things are hectic with all the animals around the house and another puppy coming home this weekend but Chet still gets plenty of love and attention. Some slight pyramiding but not to bad. Anyways here are pics from today
