Hi everyone,
Well I'm very happy to say that I picked up my two beautiful boys last night from the rescue centre. Mum and I haven't handled them at all apart from lifting them from their transport box into the cage. We've just left them alone and spoke to them whenever we go past the cage. They are currently hiding in one of their strawberry beds, scared to death, the poor things. There is evidence that they popped out for a bit though last night whilst we where in bed, as the other bed was squished and there are veggies on the floor.
The bowl of veggies has certainly gone down since I put it out for them, so I know that they are eating.
Anyway, I'm concerned because they've been in one of the strawberry beds all night and have pooed and weed in it, and I can smell it a bit already. I'm out at the moment but should be home around lunch time. So I'm going to change their water bottles and empty the old veggies out. I'm just wondering how I can clean the bed that they are in, as I obviously don't want to distress them by moving them, but at the same time I don't want them sat in their own wee and poo. There is another bed in the cage, should I gently tip them into that, then take the other bed out for cleaning? Advice please.![smile :) :)](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60a.png)
