Hi, Greg.

You're welcome on the taxonomy stuff, one of my interests.

Sounds like you have some nice little Easterns. Hope they do well for you and you can get them fattened up. Maybe the adults are Easterns too. Didn't Exotic's ad tell you which? Some folks consider Easterns and Westerns as two different species. Some still call them subspecies of "vulpina." At any rate, they undoubtedly can be crossbred. I wonder if there are any hybrids out there already? Look forward to photos...

Hopefully, the adults will acclimate well. Sounds like they are getting used to their new surroundings. I think security is a main issue in calming them down, so good hiding places, etc. Best of luck with them and let us know how they are doing...

PS: I wrote an article on Westerns in Feb. and on Easterns for March (in our newletter), in case you were interested.

Regards...TC
