How are they getting on sweetpea? Have any names stuck? Do you think they are any closer to sharing a cage? Is the green boy still feeling left out? So many questions!

How are they getting on sweetpea ? Have any names stuck? Do you think they are any closer to sharing a cage? Is the green boy still feeling left out? So many questions! Tonight, green is in Lennie's cage with blue. Before I went out this morning, he was running about the bottom of the quarantine cage in front of the door & I thought, why didn't you show you wanted to come out yesterday when there was time?! Anyway, I returned at about 4pm & he looked like he wanted out, so I opened the door & he shot out like a bullet! I had to go out again, so blue & green were locked in M's & M was locked in his old cage (with his mirror, so he was happy). On my return, after some major faffing & a detour to try some apple, green finally found his way into Lennie's cage, where blue was already sat. I didn't really want him to try out a new cage so late, but he found the food & water so I think he will be fine overnight, especially as he's back with his friend. Hopefully, with them all being familiar with two flight cages, they can spread out during the daytime & avoid any argy-bargy! It will be interesting to see how they all interact. Oh, in all the faffing for green to go inside, he landed on my arm, but clearly it was made of hot coals so he jumped off very quickly! The green one is Ferdinand Finkleberry (Stan Laurel character), aka Finkle! I can't decide on what to name the blue one. Nothing seems to fit. I try out different names for a few days & ask him directly (!) but I'm going around in circles. He's currently Fatty Fernando! (The vet said he was chubby!)

He's currently Fatty Fernando! (The vet said he was chubby!) Fat Freddy? And if he loses weight, where do you go?

Sounds like it's going as well as can be expected. Aw poor Fatty Fernando! What a name to be lumbered with. Perhaps something more aspirational like Slim Steve would be better

Delighted to report that the two newbies have had a bath! Possibly their first one ever! Lennie was my bather so I thought without his example they may not get in the bath. It's possible they were really, really desperate & may not have another bath until there is a blue moon (much like Moriarty) but nevertheless it was cheering to see them both having a good dunk. Still not decided on a name for Chubby Checker... Nothing seems to stick. I am at a loss.

Finkleberry is back in the bath! He must have been really, really, really, really desperate!
EDIT: Fatty Arbuckle is back in the bath too!

Until you have come up with a nice name for Chunky Lad, I have banned Finrod from reading the Forum. He's sensitive about his weight

Crikey... round 3 with the bath! I replenished the water as most of it was on the floor...
