So now they've settled down some more, their personalities are becoming more and more apparent. Thorn talks all the time, and squeaks whenever he's surprised or startled, whether or not he's been irritating Ginko or not.

Ginko, on the other hand, seems to use teeth chattering as the be all and end of of commucation! He chutters when I've got food he wants, he chutters when Thorn's being over-exictable (which is often - the younger of the two is the most likely to start charging around and popcorning on a whim) and he even chatters his teeth when he's in a big pigloaf of relaxation on my lap! He even makes a little teeth-clicking noise when he's half asleep and I'm stroking him... it's strange, but his body is utterly relaxed and his mouth goes off like that. I wonder if I'm annoying him, or if he's just a big old gruff?

The only time he ever vocalizes properly is to tell Thorn he's being an annoying roommate.
 
They definitely use one sound for more than one meaning, and the differences between one bout of chattering and the next is not necessarily obvious to us. Mine can use chattering for 'hurry up with that veg' and 'I want a cuddle' and 'get off my bottom' and 'this piece of broccoli is mine' and 'I'm bored'. That's what I've noticed so far....
 
Good to see them coming out of their shells!
