I got this little guy from Dee last month. If you went to the York show, you probably saw him. He's full of personality, and he's finally starting to let me give scratches and pet him. It's been impossible to get pictures, he is always on the go!
(excuse the messy cage - its cage cleaning and bath day) =]

Hello little Watson! You sure are a fine fellow :D
 
He's such a sweetie but he's the complete opposite of Penelope. Penelope is huge and just wants to lounge around all day and Watson is tiny and just full of energy. Picking a name was horrible, my fiance and I fought over a name for almost 2 weeks before we settled on Watson. =]
I'd like someday to try to introduce Penelope & Watson, but I'm also terrified of waking up one morning and finding someone hurt or dead because they got in a fight, so I'm starting to think I might just leave them in separate cages.
I would just like to thank everyone on here for all the help and the wealth of knowledge. I was horrible before I found this site - I did everything your not supposed to do.

if penelope is a girl, they should never have shared playtime or be in the same cage. in fact make sure thier cages are far enough apart so that they cant even mate between the cages.

if penelope is a boy, definitely read up on introductions. there are lots of ways to try and reduce the friction of two boys being introduced. i only have 1 pair and they are best buds. its so cute to see them. but i did have another pair that needed to be separated. you never know when it can happen.
 
Penelope is a boy, just don't tell him that ... he might get upset that everything in his cage is still pink! =]
 
lol! poor little penelope. guess he has a little gender reassignment!

hopefully Watson can show his the path to manliness!
