Lil stumpy update. He's in a bigger pot for the next couple of years, giving him a bit of room to stretch. He'll be moving 3.5 hours away sometime over the next year or so, and now he'll be able to handle the change a bit easier... more resources available to him if he gets stressed.

Hi!

I'm a little late to this thread but absolutely loving the progress of your Stumpy. Such a beauty! Looking forward to seeing its progress through the years :)

Thanks John! Yes she had a heap popping everywhere just before this shot too... I might take a shot of Ronin who still has them all over.
