Toffee is a total nutter half the time. She runs around jumping and squeaking when it’s mealtime and then promptly eats her food at 100mph. Although she does find the time to nibble a bit of everything just in case she’s missing something amazing. She regularly does mad laps round the cage often causing Scruffy to jump in the food bowl to avoid getting flattened! However she is entirely devoted to her sister, they are always cuddled up together when they sleep and if you remove Scruffy from the cage first, Toffee panics and squeaks for her till they’re reunited.

We’ve given them a few cuddles now to get them used to human attention. Scruffy is quite happy to sit back and be cuddled, even wrapped in a towel. However Toffee is far too busy and interested for all that. She loves climbing up necks, trying to explore as much as she can get away with and generally attempting to get into trouble. Very inquisitive little thing. She does like a nice cuddle in the end though once she’s decided she’s seen everything she wants to see. Scruffy seems to need more sleep than Toffee, presumably because she’s so much smaller so I think that’s why she seems more chilled out at the moment. One particular funny moment the other day when they were being cuddled was when Toffee ran underneath Scruffy so that Scruffy was covering Toffee’s face. Was Scruffy bothered about being nearly flung by her sister? Not at all!

Anyway, here’s some photos from earlier on today. Only taken on my iPhone I’m afraid so no impressive camera work. I might take some video at some point as they do some daft things you can’t see properly in a photo. Click the photos if you want to see a slightly bigger version/spy on the surroundings

Scruffy’s got the hang of the posing lark She seemed extremely happy to be cuddled up in a towel, maybe it felt like a giant guinea pig to her!

The two of them together. I think Toffee was checking Scruffy over in case the nasty human (me ) had done something awful to her in the brief time they’d been seperated!

My Mum stopped stroking Toffee for a second so she could change channels on the TV. Toffee decided the remote looked tasty so had a go at chewing the red button. That guinea pig will eat anything, I’m sure of it.

There’s a fair few other photos but I didn’t want to bore people too much and a lot of them are very similar, but if anyone’s interested, they’re located here.

So I introduce you to…..Toffee and Scruffy!

Scruffy in particular is absolutely tiny at the moment as you can see compared to my Mum’s hands in the photos. They’re both from the same litter despite having different looks and being different sizes. They’re getting spoilt rotten while we try to get them a bit braver as they’re very shy at the moment, so that’s taken up a lot of my time!

In gaming (and birthday) news, I’ve got a couple of additions to my collection. Namely, Brothers in Arms: Hell’s Highway and Too Human which my brief thoughts on have been collected in my previous entry. I also got a vision cam which in theory will help me with Viva Pinata: Trouble in Paradise, and a Prima Game Guide for Viva Pinata which I’m aiming to complete before I move onto TiP. With a combination of Viva Pinata (and TiP to follow), BiA: Hell’s Highway, Too Human and Fifa 09 I’m really enjoying gaming at the moment. They’ve given me a little revival. I didn’t cut back on gaming before but I guess it felt more like a habit, currently it’s feeling much more enjoyable and all these games should last me until Fable 2 comes out. Oh and not forgetting I have Sonic Chronicles for the DS to review at the moment, which should be good fun as I’m a huge Bioware fan and I used to love Sonic games
