UPDATE 7\/16\/26:<\/strong><\/p>\n

These girls are as sweet as their names imply! As former lab rats, they are a bit timid and shy but are easily handled. They prefer not to be picked up from the top, but they do not bite. Once they are out of the cage, they are much more brave and love to explore. They are gentle and would be a good fit for newer adopters or older children.<\/p>\n

The girls can be distinguished by the holes in their ears. Orange Blossom has none, Lemon Meringue has one moon shaped hole, and Strawberry Shortcake has two.<\/p>\n<\/div>
