Congrats!!! They are great lil' critters! We've got 2... and have really enjoyed their company! When I posted that I came home with the male, several people said that they have them also.. One person said hers was 11yrs? I think!?!?! Anyhoo... Your gonna enjoy it! No/verry little smell... water bottle, a good pellet diet, hay, treats... mine LOVE rasins... and a dust bath 3-4 times a week! EZ! They've got a TON of personality! But, they do poo.... ALOT! So just be ready for that! (But as poo goes... it's not bad at all, clean little pellets) Post some pix. when you get the lil' bugger home!
