: I just got two SG's. I am confindent that they will become
: great pets- I just advice on how??? They are brown. Is that
: weird? Every web-site has them as grey and black. They are
: nine months old, both male. I know that their cage is big
: enough and their food is right. I have tried offering them
: mealworms and fruit and then gently petting them and talking
: to them while they eat. However, they try to bite me if I
: am holding a piece of fruit after they take the first bite.
: Please HELP!!!!
: Thanks a lot in advance! :)!

I've been reading the follow ups that have been posted so far and there are some pretty good ideas but I have read in books that the brown furred sg's are from the wild and that their fur is brown colored due to straining. I'm not sure that its posotively true but I just thought you might like to know that. Don't give up so easily! Good luck.
