Welcome Chip and Dale

We have some new family members (due to the demise of Mr Ernie)....I'd like to introduce Chip and Dale.

Dale is black and Chip is brown
They're Russian Hamsters who are about 8 weeks old.  They're brothers from the same litter.  Russian Hamster live to be an average of 2-3years old.

Since we has just bought a new cage for Ernie, we decided to give these two little guys lots of space and hooked the two hamster cages together.  Right now they're having fun exploring their new home and find a spot to snuggle down in.

The MegaCage!
They seem to really like the green tube between the two cages, and sometimes they just hang out there for a little while.

Dale hanging out in the connecting tube
I was fully expecting the two little guys to snuggle up and go for a nap when we got home, but they're spending more time apart in the separate cages then anything else!

I can't wait to get to know these guys and play with them.  There will be more pictures to come!
