Introducing Quinine and Sucrose

I am clearly a soft-hearted, silly, daft and sentimental Eni. As it turned out, there was only one little boy left, and he had a home to go to. It was the girls who were in need of homes. So I agreed to take two. They're TINY! Rubisco is seriously three times the size.

They seem to like their new cage, having monkey nuts and apple twigs to chew, and have already given their seal of approval to alfalfa and broccoli. *grins*

Quinine is the boss, and periodically beats Sucrose up to make sure everyone knows it. (Not viciously, just enough to make Sucrose squeal a bit and act submissive again.)

Some piccies...

Also, here's one of Rubisco. She's a bit upset about having intruders and was being a total drama queen last night (and has been sulking today too). I'm trying to bribe her with cheese, with mixed success... She'll settle once she's realised they're not coming in her cage and I still love her, I'm sure.

That's all for now. More when flatmate doesn't want to borrow my printer!
