My question is this ... these 2 are so different from each other! Physically and behaviourally! They've both had the same attention from me (spoilt lil monkeys) and are both together n fed on the same diet etc. Yet Frodo is TWICE the size of Bilbo already. He has a longer more expressive neck, a fatter heavier body, and his FEET! They're like paddles Bilbo is Dainty in comparison to him. Dainty feet, even doesn't have as impressive a "quiff" as Frodo!! Does this indicate anything?? Their markings on their backs were different at hatch too ... Frodo had 2 perfect straight lines down his back and Bilbo was more spotty with the dark lines. I'm wondering if this indicates what sex they are? Behaviourally Bilbo is a bully and very needy with me, Frodo is a lot more chill, still needy but not as much as Bilbo.
Ps I'm aware of the dead toe ends on frodos feet, he had what I'm assuming bad circulation for a couple of days as a tiny chick, between his fits and eye issues he's had ongoing care They sleep in a portable brooder on my bed by my head, they are never very far from me atm. As I stated earlier they are a real LABOR of love. I'm exhausted
