Fluffy Age Development By [ HahaSoTiredHelpMe / WhenTheMoonHitsYourEye ]

I imagine that fluffies are born like rats and mice(small, furless, underdeveloped) and that their horns arent really visible until a bit later. This allows brown foals and alicorns to survive a bit longer.

Foals start opening their eyes at the end of their first week, and start talking and walking in their second and third weeks. By the end of their third week they should be fully weaned.

Between weeks 4 and 6 a lot of mental development is happening, so they sleep a lot and tend to be very irritable, whiny, or otherwise bratty., they grow out of this(usually), but this leads to a lot of misdiagnosed Smarty Syndrome.

The ‘Wan Babbehs’ behavior seen in young adult mares starts up at about 2 months, and goes until they either get knocked up, or age out of it.

Fluffies rarely live to see old age, so Watermelon is rather lucky. The oldest recorded/known fluffy was 9 years old.

Nice infograph of your fluffy developments.

In the case for Watermelon, you still kinda get what her mane & fluff color will be despite being furless.

Shes not ment to furless, just short coated. Most of my fluffies have the longer fluff, like Rain and her sister Fountain.

Whoops, I wasn’t clear when I made that post. I meant that at the birth - 2 day stage of life you still can get a gist of her fluff & mane color despite supposely being furless at that stage.

Poopie fluffy would still be found out since you could guess their color.

Yep! Brown fluffies dont typically get isolated out until the later part of their first week, same with alicorns. Adds a little surprise for any human characters :slight_smile:
