It's official. Carys prefers to scale the playpen walls instead of using the door.

I thought it was just a one-off, yesterday. The door was wide open but she climbed up the mesh and went 'over the wall'. Nope. Happened again. I'm now calling the playpen the 'Big House'.

She also managed to leap over the door barrier, yesterday, but decided it was better on the other side and she immediately returned via a one-way portal.

As soon as her siblings are at their forever home (on Friday) I'll give her free roam. For now it's just easier to 'contain' them. It also gives the big boys some respite. It also semi-contains the numerous whiffle balls they chase around the room. I'll be conducting a search and retrieval mission, later today.

Did not know that Carys was a Welsh given name.

She's quite adventurous.

Carys and Arthur are becoming quite the cute couple. It started out with hisses and now there are occasional kisses. It is SO much fun to watch them.

Eira is starting to come out of her shell. Gwyn never had a shell to begin with! He LOVES to be snuggled.
