I moved the boys from the plastic bin to the cage. They are crazy about the mealworms. I have the mealworms in my hand and when I open the door, they can't wait to hop into my hand and would not leave till they are done with the worms.

When they bite, I give them a "kick" with my finger and they jump right back in the cage. Sometimes they don't bite but smell my hand for the longest time !!!

I have mixed feelings about these two. They stay in my hand much longer than the rest of the Robs and are much calmer. They don't bite when I scoop them up from the wheel or cage or when they run from hand to hand . Biting only when I try to feed them with seeds in my palm or lay my hands down in the cage. It never break skin, just annoyance.
