Sara-W Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 How exciting! Its such a lovely thing to do I would love to take on some ex batts one day Do you have names for them yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 I do indeed I am 95% sure that they are going to be called Barbara, Dorothea and Polly. (these are all also Dr Who assistant names so sticks with my theme, as all my girls so far have been named after Dr Who assistants) I think I will do another Poll though to get opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackieb Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Got back with mine at 4.30 they are settling in to the temporary run now, where the older girls can see them but not touch. They have taken up a chunk of the old girls walk in run but they sooner they learn to play together nicely the sooner they can have the whole run to play in.

I know it's not feasible for everyone to travel that far though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Space Chick Posted August 22, 2009 Author Share Posted August 22, 2009 OK, we are back. The shock of seeing them all, and getting our new girls, I cried most of the way home, even OH shed a few tears and said "They'll have a good life now" I have fallen instantly in love with them all. So, without further ado introducing my new babies... In their new home in the run Barbara Polly Ace Exploring freedom out of the cage forever. Thankyou to everyone who voted on their names, I think they suit them The existing girls have been very interested, and Ace has been spending a lot of time at the divide investigating her new sisters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
