will need attention from you
if you only have the one then they are gong to get lonely really fast and therefore will cry for your attention.
Believe me they will cry much more often for you to show them this attention.

However if they have a playmate or partner to help keep them entertained, you won’t have to spend as much time with them.

You might decide to get two girls, two boys or one of each. Here are some tips to consider:
