Since yesterday, they have been inseparable; just as I hoped. And because Ariel came from such a great breeder and socialized her babies so well, Essie is coming out more and playing because Ariel is teaching her it is normal and okay. Ariel was eating a mealworm and Essie finally wanted some for herself! She will be learning so much from Ariel that there is no way I could have shown/taught her.
Ariel is going to be a handful though! If I am by the cage, she is wanting out.... to climb on us or hoping we have food hiding somewhere on us.
I adore my girls!
