Chuck and Bob.

Shawn and I decided that it was time to make an addition to our family. We decided we may not be ready for a baby just yet so we did some research and found the perfect addition. We found two adorable male sugar gliders that were looking for a home. Meet Chuck and Bob.

The video is Chuck and Bob eating cantaloupe. This was their first day at home and they have perked up a lot and are not very bashful anymore. We bought them hamster balls and they have been running around our apt like crazy in them. I am sure there will be a video of that to follow.

One neat thing about sugar gliders is that they can "bond" to their owner. Ours are slowly making progress towards that. They like to hang out on our shoulders. Chuck has taken to hiding in my hair... he uses it as a nest... yes, that is gross! But he loves it. Bob has taken to nibbling on Shawn's neck while he hides in his shirt. Yeah, I am not a fan of Bob yet, but Shawn is determined to train Bob. We'll see how it goes!
