Hey guys just curious how your little guys colors are coming along, I have noticed Logan has a lot of brown, pretty much everything on his head neck and back are all brown (I thought he would be more white). So wondering what colors yours are, and looking for size updates as well. Thanks, and hope everyone is doing well!

Logan is now 23.5 inches, seems to have been hitting a lull in his growth hasn't shed in about 2 weeks. That being said, its like his brain is growing super fast. I can't believe how smart they are!

UGH i wanted mine to be white! I'm not completely happy with him being brown but he is still an amazing animal! Perhaps next season i get one from a more popular breeding couple. mine this year is a sleet snow combo.

Dont they change color with age? Perhaps the brown and olive will turn white after time. Mines about 12" so well see if mine was born in a later batch of whiter extremes.

All extremes dull out to a beige-ish color as they get old, but they. All seem to whiten up as they leave that juvenile stage, look at all of varnyards older extremes

The white will come...patience. My guys are hefty yearlings and are still a bit yellow if anything. However, their heads are slowly lightening up. It'll happen...
