LOL fit behind the radiators ok , then they inflate themselves so you cant just pull them out (i think nearly every bosc owner has had this happen) still brilliant monitors and as already said "babies" are FULL of attitude LOL

Default Not Yet

Hi Not had them behind the radiator yet, but the little swines Bosc & Tegu, have both been stuck between the viv stack and wall, at the top height, which is a tad worrying when you move the object and just hope they dont fall.

lol, I think my bosc is too small to get stuck anywhere at the moment, I think he has grow since I got him but still no bigger than my middle finger lol.

Actually with regards tyo size difference, would it be a bad idea to keep 2 different sized boscs together? Im not talking about babies but when they are over the hand size stage would I need to keep them seperate until the same size?

Twice my bosc has decided to jump and go scurrying off luckily he is small, so not very quick so I can catch him again if he goes behind the viv it will be a nightmare.
