0:04:13 > 0:04:15I have had them for about two months.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Although they are adorable, they can also be a bit of a handful.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21I will wake up and immediately check on them.
0:04:21 > 0:04:24They will be in their little bed and they will have always peed
0:04:24 > 0:04:26or worse.
