The Saga Continues

Well we new it would happen soon or later.  Our Virginity with these wonderful little guys is no more.  Al and Baker decided to start fighting today, and since we just bought another cage, we thought it was a good idea to separate them.  We knew were needed to work on the training we read in the books, so we also thought it was a good idea to combine these two tasks.  We worked on the "Step Up" to see if we could get one of them to step up on the dowel we used.  They didn't think that was too much fun and decided not to play.  But the book said we need to get them out of the cage to do this exercise, and once we got Baker out of the cage, using the "towel" we started working on this trick and got him to do it one time.  Well that is not where the virginity broke but it is very exciting step for us.  After about 10-15 minutes working on this we used the towel again and moved Baker to the other cage, which is in a different room.  From the yelling they both did, we decided separating them is not a good idea.  So using the Towel again we moved Al to the new cage and started cleaning there home cage really good.  They seemed to enjoy the bigger cage, but we knew they needed to go back into the other cage.  So again, we tried the Step-up to see if they were still wild, and yes they are.  So out comes the towel, and Baker was first to be captured and moved back home.  The yelling started again, so we knew Al was next.  Well Al is a bit more obstinant about this and once we had him in the towel and holding him to Charley's chest, this is when Al showed just how much he enjoys this activity, and where Charley's virgin finger is no longer un"bitten".  This is kinda humorous, but it really gets better.  Charley carried Al to the home cage, and I thought it was a good idea to start cleaning the now empty cage again.  Next thing I hear is Charley, asking "very politely" for my assistance in opening the cage door.  Really couldn't stop laughing even when we looked at the two pin prick holes in Charley finger.  Lucky thing I have some tea tree oil for these injuries and it seems we need a bigger bottle of that.
