I get to keep them for now! I'm not sure how my sister in law will feel about them but we are going to give it a shot. My neighbor who checks on them when I am at work still refuses to pet them. She told me this is how she checks on them. "I go up to the cage and say Knock knock little squirrels it's Vicki are you ok and they crab at me. If they don't crab I open the cage and feel the bottom of their pouch and then they holler hello we're sleeping in here. so see I am taking very good care of them." My boyfriend (6'2" 300lbs) is a different story>>> Everytime I open the cage he runs. He says "they hate me. Don't you remember the first time you opened the cage and they flew onto my chest and I pissed my pants? You told me they liked me and I was dumb enough to believe you and a few days later I stood there when you opened the cage and they did it again."
