I finally have my other little girl home! Sweet little Hippo, She's another Dumbo rat. Only a few months old, so she's about half the size of Elefant still. She's a little more shy than Elefant was when I got her, that'll change soon after she gets used to being here though. She's still a little sneezy and wheezy, if that lasts too much longer Im going to have to treat her for a respiratory infection again. Poor little girl had to stay at the pet store for a month and a half to be treated for a respiratory.
So anyways, Last night when I got her home, I let her hang out in her cage(Its seperate from Elefants) for a few hours so she could relax from the ride home. And then I decided I'd introduce her to Elefant. Not in the cage or anything because Elefant would have flipped a shit if I put a new rat in her territory. So I took them both out, Got a shoe box for them to play house in, and set them down on my bed. It went pretty well.. Elefant was a little pushy and tried to nip at hippo a few times, But they didnt fight at all. Which was good. I wouldnt trust Elefant alone with her yet, Because she is so much bigger and could easily over power Hippo.. But I think when Hippo grows and they get used to seeing each other it'll go well.
Here's some pictures of the both of them on me from last night, You cant see them too well because they were busy running circles around my body.. But I tried haha
And here's a few from a few minutes ago with just me and Hippo,
I love my little girls!

That's epic! Usually when I do that I get in a hyper happy mood and that annoys everyone around me
