Nicholas (black and ginger) and Gabriel (silver agouti) are 4 years old and are looking for a lovely home. They are quite a comical duo, Nicholas being the more sensible of the two, whilst Gabriel is more like a cheeky little brother who cant sit still. He reminds his foster carer of a lively squirrel. They both need getting used to initially being picked up, but once out they do settle with time. They love exploring their foster carers kitchen.
