They're Finally Home!

There should be an "Awww" smilie,


They are TOO cute! All fluffy and pwecious. :girl: :girlstork:

So glad they're already getting along so well. And in answer to your question, they may stay that way forever, may not. My boy and girl are still good buddies (through their cage, of course). But since your's have already gotten to be inseparable, that's a good sign, :thumbsup:

How much food should they be eating? They've been eaten a little and drank some water. I only saw them eat maybe 4 or 5 pellets each. QUOTE]

How often should I check on them and make sure they're still getting around in their cage ok and that they're not fighting? I don't want to bother them and stress them out. I've just been peeking in every now and then. But they hear my footsteps and wake up. I don't want to keep waking them up on accident.

First of all CONGRATS!!!

-They may not eat a lot of food for the first day or two while they're adjusting. As long as they're eating and drinking their appetites will come in eventually.

-If you're worried about fighting you could always sleep near the cage for the first night. They need to get used to household noises, so don't worry too much abot accidentally waking them up. I vaccuum during the day, and my girls will open an eye to glare at me, then go right back to sleep lol.

-Also, I saw you made a post about weighing. You can weigh once a week, at the same time of day, to accurately chart their weight gain. I only weigh more frequently when I'm concerned about illness, or if I notice weight loss. Their weight might fluctuate a bit this first week as they adjust to everything.
