The gray male I just got yesterday so I'm sure he was recently weaned.

The yellow, I've had for approx. 4 months already. She was "roughly" the same age as the gray. She is much "larger" and seems sleeker in her appearance than the gray.


Thanks all for your opinions on this! I'm just glad they seem to be getting along so well! They were preening each other this morning again!

You got lucky with getting to get along. I had a pair of boys when I was younger and they were inseparable. With my most recent girl who's male mate died, I got her a second male mate, and let's just say they are in a love hate relationship, largely because they don't have a choice. I think she still misses her old mate and the new male will occasionally get a "beating" from the girl when his offerings aren't "just right", even after 6 months of cohabitation.
