Bubble and Squeaks progress

I have had my robo girlies for a week today and one of them I have been able to pick up 3 times already! I was so surprised! It was Squeak(husky) who I have picked up, I have only done it a little bit above their cages because I am worried about her jumping. I scooped her up and she just walks over my hands or sits there. It's so cute! Bubble on the other hand is not as brave which is weird because at first she was the more adventurous one but now they have settled, it has reversed. I try going near Bubble and she runs a mile! But I am sure she will tame up over the next couple of months(or few months!). Anyway I guess everything is going all good at the moment. They did have a little scrap and they kind of wrapped round each other and were like a ball but I obviously split them up, they didn't make any noises so don't know whether it was fighting or play fighting.

Great progress with taming! A week is not very long, but Squeak is doing really well.

Great to hear, sounds like you and they are doing really well. It just sounds like a little tussle, keep an eye on them, but it doesn't sound like anything to worry about at the moment

Majority of robos will fall out after 3-4 months, but being in a pair has better chances of them getting along together which is good

When a lot of squeeking and toy possession behaviours emerge that when you have to observe them more closely. I like their names, is it permanent?

They weren't permanent at first but they are now growing on me

And I like them even more than I did so yeah they will be permanent.

Just an update......
Here is a video of them in their playpen today.

Just to say, in their cage they do have 2 wheels. I only put one in the pen today because the other wheel is joined to the shelf of the gabber rex. I will be buying either another flying saucer or a silent wheel soon though.

I am still unable to pick up Bubble but Squeak is becoming better! She eats and cleans in my hands but she doesn't sit still for long.
