Default Itsy and Bitsy

So you've seen pics of my girls genitalia so I thought I'd introduce them properly.

They're both husky faced and I think they're gorgeous. They're absolutely tiny even by Robo standards but they've definately grown since they came to live with me

They're both very sweet girls but both have a nice bite on them!

Don't ask me which one is which, I have no idea

Awww Yaffle they are lovely. I like the one with the little wave of fur on top of its head Looking forward to seeing them on Saturday (though I hope I don't have to judge pets if they nip )

They are adorable. Quite unusual for Robo's to nip , have never been nipped by Robo, really cute though.

I know, I thought Robo's were well known for not biting, but both my little ladies do, and both have drawn blood

The only reason I'm taking them to the show is just so someone can help me sex them, I may not enter them in pets as I wouldn't want anyone getting a bite

well Claire I stopped myself before I offered Arti a look at your huskies! I know what frivolity that lead to last time

Itsy and Bitsy are beautiful - Ive never seen huskies before (that Ive noticed at least) and they look very different with the hair colour changing ontop of their heads dont they?

Unless I'm mistaken, those are not your hands picking them up...chicken :P

Can't wait to see them on Saturday

No they're not my hands I was on camera duty!

I do handle them though, even though they've nipped a couple of times it's nothing like a syrian bite so I'm not too bothered

I almost hypnotised one of them a couple of days ago so I'm getting there!

I never really intended to get Husky's, but the only agouti's were a trio and I didn't want to split them up, and I've heard that one will always get picked on if there's three of them

I'm glad I got them though, it's lovely to watch them and I always knew they were never going to be a cuddly pet

They look fantastic - I really have a soft spot for Robos, courtesy of Mad Dave.

How on earth have you ever managed to get them to bite you?

Dave, whilst mad as a bag of spiders, is exceptionally placid - I can check her teeth without inspiring a whimper.

I guess I'm just blessed with having a really tame hamster - or I'm pushing my luck, and one day Dave will pay me all back for it!

So, will you be practicing Nooboo's mystical techniques on these girls?

Husky's tend to bite more than normal Roborovski I hate to generalise as some normals do bite but they are more often than not inbred. Biting is getting more common as more Roborovskii are sold in petshops, sadly often mis-sexed and inbreeding is rife.
