Got some play time with the brothers this morning. Not that they played, but we all sat in the bathroom together -- gotta get a tent! Once they're all living together -- and they ate grape jam off my finger. Washi, of course, he's a real licky little boy, got the most of it; Kioko was more interested in snuggling down in the pouch. Once they both were licking the same finger, one on each side - I really liked that! It tickled. No nips, very little crabbing.
After about ten minutes, I took them home and went to get Shikoni. He was tight in his nest, fussed just a little very quietly, like he was saying "Not now, I'm really sleepy." I left him alone.
Yesterday when the brothers woke up, Kioko went almost immediately to the food dish and got a shrimp. He ran to the back of the cage and hung upside down to eat. Well, Washi came over and stole his shrimp! He ran off to the side. Kioko chased him, for about a minute that shrimp went back and forth -- I laughed!!! I offered Washi the food bowl, but he wasn't having any part of it, until I got a shrimp out and handed it to him. Then they both went to the back, hung upside down and tore into it. I got pictures, they're really cute. Took five pix, got three good ones.
I also got pix of Shikoni. Took six, only two came out -- that guy moves around! One problem too is that it's really dark in the cage -- I have a cover over it, the top, back and one side. I did that when I first got him because of drafts, and he seems to like the privacy, so I left it. Maybe when I get the cage set (!) I can take the cover off, there should be enough pieces to make him a dark corner so he can hide out.
Dinner tonight: turkey (of course, we'll be eating turkey til Valentines Day!), carrots, cucumber and bell pepper, apple, pear and a tiny bit of sweet red grapefruit. Also the last of that chicken-corn-squash baby food, and strawberry yogurt. Fresh water, shake out the floor fleeces and they're ready.
