The New Age Marx Brothers (NAMB).


Groucho - Mis-marked mink hooded, he is the leader of the gang and is known affectionately as the Terrorist. His speciality is a sideways walk, used to make himself look cute when he knows he's in trouble.

Update (29/09/98) Groucho is getting chunkier and will soon match Brownie and Rex in size. He still does his funny walk and can climb around the cage like a mountineer.

Chico - Mis-marked black hooded, named because of his cheeky nature which led to the formation of the NAMB. He loves being with Hoody and spending the day asleep, usually underneath his big mate. His main aim is to be as big as his friend.

Update (29/09/98) Chico is also getting bigger but seems to get shyer as he gets older - not the cheeky monkey he was as a kitten.

Harpo - Mis-marked black berkshire, half brother to Chico and Groucho. This trouble-maker can't be left alone for 2 minutes, his favourite hiding places are behind the TV or in the least human-accessible place under the stairs. Harpo loves escapology and climbing and he is happiest when he's got out of the cage and is playing on top, dangling his tail in someone else's face.

Update (29/09/98) Harpo has decided he's going to be the beta-male and is pushing for dominance over Brownie, Hoody and Rex. He is growing into a sleeky, confident rat who knows exactly what he wants and how to get it.

Zeppo - Mis-marked black berkshire, with bad rexing. Zeppo is the baby of the bunch. He loves hanging over large drops by one paw and squeeking loudly for assistance, if left alone he shuts up and goes about his business. Zeppo is the most friendly of the NAMB and is always seeking love and attention.

Update (29/09/98) Although no longer a kitten, Zeppo is still little and cute. He is the only member of the NAMB who can still get throught the cage bars. His newest idea of fun is ambushing the newest Cavyboyz by jumping on their backs from above.
