I was kind of concerned that his color would fade out and he'd end up looking like a normal cranwelli as there is brown coming through around his eyes. He seems to have turned from a teal color to more of a safety green though, so I'm ok with it lol. He's a great eater though, I've been feeding him their pacman food. Just add water and roll it into a dough ball. All I have to do is wave it in front of his face and he goes for it.
