Thanks!! Yeah, they’re pretty sweet, still a little nervous but I’ve been trying to give time to adjust and being gentle in our approaches =) Our 3yo named the silvermane “Pepper” which is pretty stinking cute! So now we have to decide if we call the blaze “Snowflake” like my 5yo likes or...

These two little ladies are about 6 weeks old! One is a "black silvermane", standard-coat dumbo, the other is what I suspect to be a lilac velveteen, variegated with blaze. Both girls are sweet and seem to be adjusting to their new Critter Nation nicely. I'm putting poops in the litter pan...

Any luck, Agy? We had a boy do that when he was getting an ear infection. That was the first sign he gave us that anything was wrong.
