I know, right? LOL

Ok I'm thinking of going with Irish names, I really like these two:

Sorcha (SOH ruh chuh) - brightness; light
Senga (SEN ga) - slender/holy

I like those names. Those names go good with today being St. Patricks Day.

Forgot about that!! Then it's settled. Now to figure out a way to easily tell them apart! LOL One has a little bump in her tail - but you really have to look and see!

I finally have everything but the lid for their cage finished. I am not used to having animals on shavings! LOL They're bowl was quickly buried. So I went today and bought a wooden bird nesting box and put it in the corner and put their food bowl on top. Instead of a tank I have them in a 117 quart plastic storage container from target, I cut out the top and am going to fit mesh over it. We drilled a hole in the side for the water bottle. They love it!! I'll get more pics for ya.

I can already see who is the dominant one - she will knock the other over and pin her. I think they're playing but I'll keep an eye anyway as they are not yet mature and this could lead to me having to seperate them. I left the jar in so one can hide in the jar and one in the house - maybe that will deter some fighting. They seem to like apple! lol

Hopefully by the time you come you will be able to hold them. I am going to start tonight trying to handle them more - as of now they're not too keen on it. But I stick my hand in their cage and they crawl all over me (kinda like a chinnie, I can touch you but don't DARE touch me! LOL).
