 O0 Congrats.


It'd be a good idea to introduce some new blood soon though, as they begin to develop deformities (usually spinal shape, kinks etc.) after too many generations interbred.

Ok cool, I just mentioned it because you had the grandparents it sounded like maybe you'd bred through the generations, which often happens on it's own and is sometimes unavoidable.
