I got them from Pets At Home. I didn't really want to buy animals from that place as I feel if it had humans instead of animals there, there would be several major contraventions of basic human rights going on. But... you know what it's like when you just see them and fall in love with them and that's that...!!

They don't bite hard, it's just more a nibble really - I think it might be more a food thing than a "they hate me" thing. I've tried sitting by their cage quietly with the door open - but they just sit in the far corner of the cage where I can't reach them and they don't move until I do. They're getting a bit better and will start coming up to me now, but as soon as I move they get a bit scared.

Do you think it'll just take a bit more time and TLC to get them to come round or will they always be like this?? I mean it's only been a week and a half, maybe I'm over-reacting!!
