Thank you to you all for your help on this.
Helen1 can I please say a special thank you to you. When I read pussygalore's reply on the other thread I have to confess I couldn't stop crying for the poor little mites, so thank you again for being so kind. Can I just ask one more question though please, knowing now that they are both male does that mean as they grow and get older I will have a problem with fighting? Thanks again Izzywizzy |

2 males can get on at times but you just have to watch out for any nonsence then give them a good talking to. That's what I do but mostly they get on. I have 2 Hermanns

Thank you everyone. My worries have been eased a little. I dare say when hibernation time comes around I'll be a nervous wreck once again and ask a million and one questions of you all, but for now I shall just have fun enjoying the new additions.
Hope you enjoyed your time in Rome Helen. |
