While when they were only a few days old I could hold all 13 in my hand at once, holding even one in my hand for any period of time now is difficult. They are active: climbing up arms, down backs, jumping out of hands to run around the bed, etc. I love the difference in coloring in some of the agoutis… some more ashy grey than the others who are ashy brown.

They are great little fuzzlets. They eat well (what porkers!), wrestle with eachother, attack momma Penelope when they’re hungry, bury themselves in the bedding, and all try to cramp together in the smaller of the two plastic houses in their cage. They are quite the sight to watch and I’ll be sad to see some of them go. In 3 days they will be a month old.
