oh and about the shyness, haha I can't help being shy cos you all seem so confident
I'll let you in on a secret Jane - most people feel exactly the same - I am always nervous that I'll say something stupid! But I learned a long time ago that if you just take a deep breathe, smile and show an interest in other people, you can usually seem really confident and make new friends easily
Remember - most of us have had a few more years experience/practice at it than you!
Well we don't suddenly reach a certain age and turn into either ogres or super confident people Jane.
It only comes with practice (and it gets easier the more you do it)
Anyway - you are doing ok- we had a good conversation at Rotherham didn't we? Oh and just to illustrate my point - I ! did do something idiot ( I called Trina's campbells - Robos) and I survived didn't I???

haha yes you did i was going to tell you they were campbells but then i would have felt rude
mmm are you going to Mapplewell Trina? I may just turn into an ogre after all if you are being cheeky only joking. I think I just saw them all curled up and as they are argente (or I think they are - or am I being an idiot again? )I just saw the colour and assumed ! But if you'll forgive me for making a mistake about your babies I will never make that mistake about them again!
How's the taming coming on? Are you any nearer to them crawling onto your hand?

The in cage biting is very common and is called cage aggression or as we call it 'cage rage'. They are defending their territory. I would say to only take them out only using a ball, box or toilet roll tube. Take them well away from the cage and then play with them. Good work for getting them nice and tame Trina
Yes well done Trina!
Ice went through a real period where she would rush for us as soon as we opened the cage door (and not to say hello either )
She's fine again now, but when she was evil Ice we used to get her out of her cage by putting her play ball up to the door!
