Nigel is Felix, Clooney is Oscar

So - since Clooney has decided to move into Nigel's cage it definitely needs to be cleaned more often.  Before when it was just Nigel living in there - it was tidy, he was very clean, used his box, didn't slop his food around - I could go two to three weeks without doing more than a litter box change.  He is basically Felix Unger from the Odd Couple - the neat and tidy one.

Then Clooney moves in - OMG - what a slob!  Oscar Madison - the Jack Klugman character from The Odd Couple to a tee.  He gets food everywhere - is very messy when he uses the box, moves stuff around in the cage - and is generally causing havoc in there.

Somehow the two of them seem to coexist quite nicely and I am thrilled that they are getting along so well so I am not going to make Clooney move out.  I am okay with cleaning once a week for these little boys - they are so worth it.
