I got my male at 8 weeks old and my female I got at 6 months old and they also have very different personallities. He love to play and my female just wants to be held... they are the same age from different breeders and get along about 75% of the time...I love them both but I am considering getting another one that is more playful so my male has someone to play with when my female says thats it go away.
