UPDATE 3\/26\/26:<\/strong><\/p>\n

These boys have come a long way from being very skittish to accepting being held and enjoying interaction at the front of the cage!<\/p>\n

Onyx is a shy but curious boy, happy to take treats and getting used to being handled slowly but surely. He enjoys sitting on shoulders and walking around the house, and he is a great dad for the little ones!<\/p>\n

Peridot (Peri) is a sweetie pie who loves to be a part of the action. He is the most outgoing of the 3, and he is acclimating quite well. He can be picked up with little stress, and he has a lot of energy!<\/p>\n

Mica is the shyest of the boys. He is coming around with time, but still doesn’t like to be picked up. He will, however, climb into your hand to grab a quick treat! He will do well with some patience and lots of treats!<\/p>\n<\/div>
