Branston Pickles and Cheddar Cheese!

Welcome to the two new additions to the household, cheddar n pickles. We saw them in the pet shop and couldnt help ourselves. They spent a day living in a cardboard box but now Oli has built them a great little hutch that has a partition for their bed and a large run area with an open top and mesh front. They love it and are very friendly talkative little chaps.
