Hi Emily,
Your little man is gorgeous! You must be so excited about bringing him home
Have you asked his breeder about whether he will rosette? They should be able to tell you how they'd expect him to develop, although nothing's guaranteed of course!! Also, if his parents are rosetted that should give you an indication (I think you'd need permission to post pics of them but not sure!).
I'm not a breeder but spent far too much time researching bengals before I got mine, lol! So my gut feel would be that your little boy would rosette.... My understanding is that not all (or many even?) bengal kittens are born rosetted and most will develop them as they grow, they can start to show any time from a few weeks old, to a few months...the breeder of my Monty called them polaroids; as their coats develop so much for the first 2 years or so!! I love that expression!
I've put in a few pics of my kitten Monty from 2 weeks on, he's now 7 months old and his coat has changed loads, he wasn't rosetted when he was tiny, but the two tone colours started to come in at around 3/5 weeks old and his coat is still developing..hope this helps!
2 weeks old:
3.5 weeks old:
7 weeks old:
4 months old:
6 months old:
Just realised the rosetting doesn't show up great, although you can see the two-tone in the second pic, but they are there! His coat is even better now but I havn't managed to upload any recent pics yet...
