Awwwwww! they are not bad and badder; they are cute and cuter! can't wait to find out their real names! You can handle them ok? What exactly do you need to do? Just make them nicer? Like, you can pick them up, but they spit? Is that the problem? Well do like moosmom and get one of those kitten things that is similar to what they use on human babies! Makes them stuck to you as you go about your day at home and get used to human and household sounds!
Hate to change the subject but my goodness! A big thunderstorm just hit my town on east coast- I knew Cape Cod was getting hit- guess I am getting the rain! I love the sound, it was just so sudden! anyway,
Congrats and good luck- love the pics!
