UPDATE 4\/30\/26:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Both boys are very curious and handleable.<\/p>\n

Gerald (the slightly smaller of the two) is braver and will readily approach to investigate, get treats and will allow you to pet him and scoop him up.<\/p>\n

Arnold is a little shyer and more reserved but usually right in line behind Gerald if he thinks treats are available. He will turn to run if you pet him but will let you scoop him up without much issue.<\/p>\n

Both boys should continue to blossom and become more outgoing with time and attention in a forever home.<\/p>\n<\/div>
