Well, we got the new baby today. His name is Sparky, but Taz seems to be appropriate too. He really reminds me of the tazmanian devil from bugs bunny. I just got done cleaning their cage because first he dug all the water out of the water bowl. Then he dug in the litter box (and I was previously - until tonight - using clay litter, but have changed to yesterdays news as of now). So he - and Thumper - were covered in wet/dry clay cat litter. He's not used to everyone yet, so he's a little skittish around us. He bounces around like a ball in a pinball machine. Thumper - tho much more active than she was when we got her - is very lethargic still compared to him. They are both going to the vet on Wednesday. Anyway, they both got baths (this was Thumper's first since we got her), and they both hated it. I had a feeling Thumper would, but I was sure Sparky was going to love it - I mean, he played in the water dish for 20 minutes! He was soaking wet after that, but for some reason a bath is different. Right now he's attacking one of the chewy toys in the top of the cage and Thumper's sleeping in the bottom. And you've heard the expression "climbing the walls"? Well check out the pics to see how he gets around the cage - seems ramps are too time consuming for him!
