Hi again, different topic so new thread.
My sallies have always been quite healthy looking so far, they seem to eat propperly, have been growing in a proportional manner, and seem not to have any stress factors, as far as I can tell.
I've never been able to tell which are male and/or female, even after reading the explanations here... I guess I've never seen any differences in their cloacas, perhaps because I've chosen to handle and bother them as litle as possible: when I feed them they show themselves briefly and when I clean their terrarium I handle them the bare minimum. Or perhaps they could all be the same gender...
One of them has been gaining volume, in an apparently proportional manner. Not very much yet, but it raised the question: is it a she expecting descendancy, or could it be bloated or even obese?
Since this is the only one presenting this bulking up, I feel inclined to exclude poor/unadequate feeding, but on the other hand they are not much over 1 y/o (as far as I can tell), so I wouldn't be expecting preagnancies so soon! Or could this one in particular become bloated or sick although being fed the same way as the others?
Thanks for feedback
