Victoria spongelets

Victoria gave birth to her, and Black Banana's, second brood last weekend..... early ...and they were tiny.... a week later they are still tiny and have not ventured outside the ark.
That may be something to do with Victoria; Her last brood didn't leave the ark for ages.....  and they grew up to be very round and sleek. This lot may be the same..... we shall see. In the meantime, Victoria is eating for the whole herd, as ever. At least, since the little ones arrived she has been quiet..... before that she was always the first awake and the loudest at suggesting it was feed time..... it won't be long before she back to normal I'm guessing..... meanwhile the little ones are soaking up all her love and attention..... they'll do well for it..... little sponges..... aaaahhhhhh
