Brixton and Sammie

Brixton and Sammie have fully bonded. They actually did a couple of days ago but they were inside the hammock so I couldn't get a picture of them. Today I did get a few pictures.

Brixton is a 1 1/2 year old PEW. She was taken in from someone that was going hitchhiking cross-country. She is a pretty quiet little girl.

Sammie is a gregarious little girl that also was adopted from someone that lost their housing situation along with her cage. She is a pretty kissy little girl. When they were first put in the cage together, Brixton slept in the blankets below and Sammie in the hammock. It was just this past week that they have started snuggling together.

Brixton was originally housed in Tickle Tower with the other girls. However she did not bond with any of the girls and she just didn't do well. She is now doing wonderfully with her friend.

Here is their cage. They live in a Quality Cage PC-1822. I added 2 small balconies to it--Corner Lookouts. I have 2 such cages. These are great for housing active female ratties. The door is big enough to fit the Wobust Wheel through it. It also features a slide out tray. (There is no wire floor.) The girls really seem to like it. The water bottle is a Lixit GB-KIT-S. I am using a Snapple bottle. I zip-tied the spring loaded "seed" cups as this cage is actually a bird cage. It is 18" wide x 18" deep x 22" high.
