Some Baby Snootlings Fun Facts!
I have a lot of fun throwing the itties around my doodles tho I thought I may share some stats about them :3c
Snootlings are born mostly in batches between 2-5 eggs. After hatching their first instinct is to climb either of their parents as form of protection and safety. During their youth they spend most of their time riding on the backs of their parents until they're strong enough to slowly explore the world themselves.
But even when they get older, they sometimes huddle on top of each other as a source of comfort
It is very hard to differentiate female and male baby Snootlings if they're still very young, since they all have the male typical head fluff and naked tails. With time they will either grow the more voluminous mane and fluffy tail or will keep the head fuzz and grow addition tuff on their tails.
They are quite small compared to their adult versions but grow very quickly. Before they're reaching full adulthood, there is a kind of ritual they have to go through. Until they've been able to fulfill this tradition, their fire properties won't be able developed properly, which can be the cause a lot of risks, including involuntary combustion or causing massive wildfires.
