UPDATE 5/15/25:
Poppy and Thistle are total sweethearts that search for cuddles and snacks. Thistle is the more energetic of the two and will be seen hopping around while Poppy prefers to lounge back and wait for snacks. They both squirm when first being picked up but once in your arms, they are content.
