Default Barry and Larry

Thought I'd post a couple of pics since they've settled in a little better.





I love this one, he had just buried himself in the substrate and came up for air ....

They look happy to me! They do love to dig. Those wheels that come with the Duna cages can have hard `rungs` on the running surface and they don`t always turn very well, so maybe replacing those with regular/medium silent spinner wheels would be good? Silent spinners come with their own metal stand as well, so they don`t rely on the shelf clip. I found that a nightmare when I tried to get a wheel off it once! I had to break the axel on the wheel to get it off!

I don't think he's using the wheel for exercise, he seems to like it as a toilet.

Here's a recent pic of Barry.

What cute lads! You've got to love the icky boy Chinesey habit of using their wheels as toilets. I have found that by cleaning the wheel less, they make it less dirty. Odd I know, but perhaps they feel they don't have to re-scent it again. I wipe the icky bits off with dry kitchen roll but try not to disinfect it too often.

Barry's "substrate shark" impression is adorable.
