Luna and merlin are still cohabitating the same cage.

There seems to be 3 main points of …. disagreement.

1. As the real estate agents like to say, it's all about location. Frequently they have arguments over "who's on first" so to speak.

2. Food. It doesn't matter that there are two food bowels and that both bowels start out with the same offerings at the same time. The usual Corse of events is Merlin drops his food on the floor and then goes to steal Lunas food. This only happens with foot food not pellets.

3. Toys. When Merlin gets wound up playing with his toys he lashes out at Luna just cuz she is there. Sometimes they fight over the toy itself.

I have noticed Luna acting a bit different towards Merlin. Luna is standing up for herself more often. Luna also seams to be playing with Merlin instead of just getting out of his way.

Overall I am pleased with how these two are getting along.

Eye color and behavior.
Merlin has light tan colored eyes, Luna has dark rich brown eyes.

Merlin will step up on your hand. Luna still doesn’t like to be touched.... especially the feet.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Nice update, gorgeous pic! Seems Luna and Merlin have settled in as the proverbial couple: "Can't live with him/her, can't live without her/him!

Yup! The foundation of traditional Amazon Love! Well, Love in general... :D

Up-coming behavior, Luna pushes back, way back and if you get a chance to see it, Merlin will have this huge surprised look going-on.

Amazon's Have More Fun!
