    I think it was around a 1 1/2 y.o.a. or at 3" for your bigger occ. I always just paid attention to their size and grouped ones from different batches. Some Occ's don't grow as fast and will shoot babies small even though they are around 1 1/2 - 2 years old.

    Okay cool. My girl is about 2.25 inches and my boy is about 1.50 inches long. They do funny things together which makes them soooooooooooooo amusing to watch.
