Let's do a comparision, shall we?

Here's Ralph on March 28th, 2008:

Here's Ralph nearly a year later, March 2, 2009:

On a random closing note, Ralph would like to remind other chinnies to clean behind their ears. He has kindly demonstrated how this should be done:

 

[Megan]

OMG look at the difference! I didn't think he grew THAT much since coming to you!

 

[Godins Chinchillas]

He's very nice and shiny. About blinded me.

Jessica

 

[Jill of Beans]

Wow...look at him - I almost want to compare him to a silver back gorilla....so beautiful.

 

[alli713]

[Jenn]

Wow, the little guy ain't so little now, is he?!!! What a cutey!

 

[Rickman]

What color is he? The flash has him "washed' every which way! Big guy, though!

 

[Sierrasmom97]

[MyFuzzies]

I'd say Ralph has a healthy appetite LOL. What a handsome little guy!!

 

[andymilo]

[ilovemytwochins]

LMAO, he does kinda resemble a silverback gorilla in the cutest chinny way!

 

[acbieri]

[Terbear24]

[3CsMommy]

Hooh-leee-schnikes, that's a lotta chinchilla! Just gorgeous. Who bred him?

 

[Parkerspetchins]

Ralph is such a gorgeous boy!! I was looking at Ralph's first picture when my husband (who often looks over my shoulder when I'm on the forum) commented on how cute he was and suddenly I scrolled down to Ralph's current picture and he nearly fell out of his chair laughing LOL. He said he wasn't prepared for "bigger" Ralph. He knows how much I covet the x-dk ebs! I would totally steal Ralph from you if I lived a wee bit closer :innocent:.

 

[Twilight Chinchillas]

Oh my he has grown! LOL He looks like a Sumo Chin! LOL

 

[peachydays]

Thanks everyone! I was actually pretty shocked myself when I compared the two pictures.

For those that asked, Ralph is free fed PANR Show pellets, and a mixture of 2nd cut timmy and mountain grass hay. He weighs about 720 grams now.

Hooh-leee-schnikes, that's a lotta chinchilla! Just gorgeous. Who bred him?

Ralphie was bred by Summit Hill Chinchillas (user Megan)

 

[Sesame]
