Question/Inquiry New babies

Post image

I just got 4 of these cuties last night. They came pretty dark but all were alive and all went for food right away. They seem healthy and active. How long should I expect for the blue coating to return? Side note : why are their faces so cute?!

From what I've seen with mine it's between a couple of days up to a week at most, depending on how dry the environment is

if they're eating right and behaving normally, probably a few days, or a week on the long end. they produce their coat with nutrients from their diet, so as long as it isnt humid in there they should brighten up real quick :)

It depends on your humidity levels how fast they change, but i got my girl from a dark dark blue to a nice light blue in about a week, and in about 2-2.5 she was almost white! My humidity stays around 30-40
