Flower Power

After CB and Foehn loved their flower pouch so much, M decided to try her hand at making one for Virga and CB. She finished it about a week ago, and they have been enjoying it ever since! This month has been rather cool so far, so both pairs of gliders like to sleep in these warm pouches. Here's a photo of Cirrus (left) and Virga (right) peeking out from their new sleeping pouch.

Virga and Cirrus have been with us two months now and they have done well.  They are becoming more and more comfortable around us, and both of them will let us pet them now and seem to enjoy it. They like their time in the tent at night, and have learned that when the pouch is brought in and set down that it is time to go back to their cage for dinner. That makes life easier for all of us. Speaking of eating, Cirrus has been slowly gaining weight and is now up to 65 grams. M says she has a hard time sometimes telling them apart now, but to me, at least, Cirrus is noticeably smaller. In fact, they are easier to tell apart than CB and Foehn by their coloring. Virga has more black around her eyes, a darker and broader dorsal stripe on her head, and more black on her legs. We wonder if she might be what is called a Black Beauty.
