OffTempo 03/31/19 9:31:50 PM #105:	I finally got a cage divider so I can house the two together so yesterday I put them together. I also put this long piece of cardboard at the base of the divider since they're still young enough to slip into eachother's side of the cage which I don't ant to happen when I'm not there to supervise them. I went out to do some errands today so I put the cardboard up and you'll never guess what I found when I got home. Tuxedo was in Brownie's side of the cage chilling in his (Brownie's) house and Brownie was laying down outside near his house. At least they weren't fighting but I don't know what they did hen I was gone. --- Interviewer: "You're not even a superhero you're more of a vampire slayer."

They are a bit skittish if i walk over to the cage, and dont seem to like being carried too much, but as soon as i sit down on the bed, they start talking, and sometimes they dont stop even if i stop petting them. Im also certain that Teddie has taken a nap in my quilt before, she was too relaxed, and silent, not to. Stribe is a bit more fearful (Teeth incident) but is also a willing conversationalist Hell even Sally was willing to make noises for me.. and lick my fingers, and shed only known me for a few minutes (not mine but shared interests) Teddit doesnt like her all that much sadly, and goes on the attack a while after being put together... i dunno if we can teach her not to do so. --- L.J.Gibbs: Rule 51: "Sometimes You're Wrong." <cite>SuperVegito2487 posted [p:919917535] in Guinea pig...
