Newt isn’t going to be forgotten now he has a little brother. He may look extra big due to the small size of nugget.

Is the playpen going to be shared?

He is definitely bigger I was wondering about the playpen. I suppose they would smell each other - Newt is very particular about smelling the toys in there just to check they still smell the same lol. I shall have to see what other people do. I could swap toys around maybe.

Swapping toys may be a good idea. Smaller for Nugget and bigger for Newt.

Aww there's plenty of love for both. Newt's now the biggest and oldest ham in your hamily lol! Great weight of 192g.
I would change the toys, let them have their own toys for playtime.

I would use different toys for each of them in the playpen, I think it could be a bit disturbing for them if they can smell another ham on their toys!

Thank you TL, Cypher, and CMB. So swapping toys it is. What about general smells like the floor and sides of the playpen?

I will check what the position was when my daughter had Jarvis and Loki but I don't think using the same playpen and it being in the same position was a problem.

I've never shared playpens or anything between hams so not sure about that but I wonder if the playpen might be a bit overwhelming for Nugget, at least to begin with & he might do better in a large play bin?

Good point Cypher, I was wondering that too. Newt nipped me last night! Not a hard nip. While he was out in the playpen. I suspect I may have forgotten to wash my hands after putting Nugget's food out.
