Ella & Ninja

Meet sisters Ella and Ninja! We're not sure if they're really sisters, but they cuddle, play and overall get along wonderfully. Both girls are super active and curious. They're much more interested in exploring than cuddling right now, but that's probably partially also because they are estimated to be only 5-6 months old. Ella and Ninja are confident and will do well in any family that can give them plenty of toys, time to run around outside their cage and lots to explore. If you'd like t...

She's brave, adventurous and actually kind of likes people now. Margaret on the other hand, still needs quite a bit of patience and someone who can...
