Actually they were the same color, they just didn't have their spines, and you couldn't see their sides, so could not see the brown on them. They do not get their bristles until they are teenagers.


Tanks are the safest housing for spineys, as they can chew anything plastic, their feet are much too tiny to be housed safely in a wire cage, and since they are small they have more of a chance of escaping.
