I have five here still, but one I did not get out because she stresses too easy.

Looking good Dakota. I have never been the world's biggest fan of Meruakes but you and Sue are changing that! These are seriously lovely. But I don't have the room for another blue tongue project!

That's great to hear Mark! Honestly, I wasn't that great of fans of them at first, either. I think it really just takes owning them. I love the variety in them. And, of course, how long they are!

Is that last one domino? If so, Miss Susann was right- he does have some gorgeous reds coming through on his tiny little stripes!!

Yup! Him and Ms. Canada (2nd one pictured) are going to be the orange ones of the litter. I'm kinda wishing I held her back! But she will be going to a lovely home in Canada once the weather warms up. It is crazy how much color they already have — just three weeks old! Only one shed cycle so far.

Thank you Susann and Aaron/Susan!! Even though it is a chore feeding and cleaning so much baby poop, I enjoy them so much!

This is the smallest baby currently, not pictured in the original post. He wasn't the runt, but he isn't growing as fast as the others. He was supposed to go to his home (local) last week, but I decided to keep him for a while, since he was not eating great. Looks like he is just a spoiled little eater! He will eat, but won't eat all his food unless you put it against his mouth. If he continues to do well, he should be going to his home this weekend.

The babies all have such well defined, thin stripes, and so clean between them; just the way I like! :love:

I'm hoping the new owners will continue to update us as they grow. I would love to see these beauties a year from now.

Baby Meraukes are the cutest! Great job Dakota.

Mark, make some room. The UK is lacking in orange Meraukes XD
