I know many of the folks here have experience with Bengals. Dolos is now about 16 weeks. Looks like her spots are changing to rosettes with more shading and definition , and her coloring is more red with gold tips.....which makes me quite happy, she is really pretty even though she is still in the fuzzy stage. When do you normally see these changes? Is it any permanent changes to what her adult appearance will be?

Question on Bengals
- Thread starter Laura W
- Start date
Mine are a year old and I swear they keep getting darker and more reddish. Even in the past few months 1 of them has seemed to have gotten a thicker almost shaggy coat. Then one out of the 3 though is more of a cooler brown with sort of silver appearance, he hasn't change with his markings, coat or coat. I had another one a few years bag and he had the pelt like coat until he was about a year and then it got courser and very scruffy. Not sure why though
But I have heard that Bengals "glitter" - a trait we do not want in Savannahs

Keljin's mom is a Bengal, technically he could be registered as both Savannah or Bengal. He has some rosettes, and some solid spots. When he was a baby all of them looked like big solid inky blotches, but as he got older the rosettes got bigger and more spread out and even more contrast. I noticed some reddish coming out on him too, mainly on the edges of his belly, and down the center of his back.
I'm not sure if age has anything more to do with it than size really, as their bodies grow bigger the spots have more room to stretch out. I haven't owned any other Bengals before either, so I am not sure what else to say other than my experience in watching Keljin grow up.
