the little ones get named

nooboo · 10-17-2005, 01:25 PM

well it was decided, what with the naming of all the new arrivals, that the babies deserved real names too.

the dark one is Stibbons, the light one is Hex, mainly as it gives you a look which clearly states ++out of cheese error please restart universe++

(must be confusing for those who don't know Discworld)

Cute but unusual names Nooboo! Are you keeping both hams?

nooboo · 10-18-2005, 01:38 PM

not sure, it seems awful but I know which one I would let go, it all depends on the guy who lives above us really, if he seems really keen etc then I might be able just about to part, if not then I wont, I want hex to go somewhere safe and secure,

so it's sort of a case of play it by ear, oh and I guess make sure Dave knows he has not got a choice who stays or goes if it does come to this

Well he did have a hand in their creation!!!!! Leaving cages loose so he has no choice does he!!!!

How are the little ones doing now nooboo?

Stibbons has only just been separated from mum. I know I left it late, but he was not doing so well, was half the size of Hex (oh and the names swapped, the dark one is Hex, the Banded Stibbons). He still wobbles when he walks.

When we separated him I had another go at sexing him, and am more sure now he is male, he just looked the same as Hex because of the great size difference, he does seem to have a knobbly top hole (sorry for the detail)

Hex is with us here, I was tempted to take Stibbons, but I think he really wouldn't have coped with the trip, he is rather nervous, wobbly and acts like a piece of popcorn. I will just focus on him when we get home!

I have recently taken lots of newer pictures of them, I guess I should put them up here!

Oh yes please :P

I know those are rather blurred of Hex, but still so adorable! I love the one which makes her look like a squirrel

Stibbons is still a bit too wobbly and shy to get a good picture of

and Hex likes to pose when she is being fed tonnes!
