LOL after getting a pregnant guinea pig (and being told it was a male) and male & female hamsters (which were supposed to be both females), I checked myself to make sure they both are guys. They both look like guys to me, and the guy at PetCo said that they were males. I researched it online and it helped me along, and I'm almost, if not positive they are both guys.

Right now, they are cuddled up beside each other, sleeping. Aww.

FLS, they look great, so tiny I too loved the film ghost ship, although couldn;t remember the names of the characters!!

As I'm sure TM will tell you they LOVE to chomp up cardboard - toilet roll inners, small food boxes etc etc. I would also suggest you remove the plastic bowl and replace it with a ceramic one (they will chew it sooner or later but cannot do so with a ceramic one).

I'm so glad your Dad remembered about Dodge, now they both have a happy future, together and aren't gerbs curled up together the sweetest thing

I put a toilet paper roll (the cardboard thingy) in there today. They love it.

Thanks for telling me about the bowl, I'll ask my dad to pick a ceramic one up on his way out to Coram tomorrow.

Tomorrow I'm going to put them in the playpen to play. I'll try to take some good pics and post them.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone.
