Just some thoughts, you're gonna need quite lot of space for giants if you want them to grow to that size (someone here should know the sizes - cos I dont'). Besides, I heared giants mature later. So who knows? Maybe still got chance ley ?

Is the hm a giant to begin with or is the size due to age. That may explain the size of the offspring. And another possible reason is the female being used to spawn. At least he has given you two spawns, so cheer up bro
