The Collective is back up to full strength! 
First up I would like to introduce two mice who have moved in with Chandon; they are two 12 week old girls - one black satin coated and one white curly coated. No names as yet so any hints would be welcome.
Bringing up the rear, the largest, most enthusiastic and downright cute member of the collective is Eddie, the Libyan Jird. If you want to see what he looks like the links can be found on my personal space but it is true - male jirds really do sleep on their backs with all four paws in the air. Eddie is a bit of a JCB at heart - his day is spent digging, eating and sleeping. His enthusiasm to see me and to have a bit of a petting session is very endearing.
Nelson and Wellington are well hacked off about the diet unfortunately - but they did like being put in an empty bath for some exercise!
Now we are six!

Is there any alteria motive for buying a male jird then! 
Or is it just that the tummy is always available for a tickle while he is sleeping.

*ahem*
Two 12 week old girls? In that case I can see no alternative but to name them Daphne and Celeste.

...Or if they're likely to do a runner like Panya Mdogo did, how about Thelma and Louise?
