Greg thinks it is a dumb name, but he wanted to call him Coco but coming up with a dippy name like that negates your right to have a vote. Sorry, sweetie! I'm calling him Zinger for short.
I finally got some pictures of him not moving. Of course I found out after I downloaded the pictures that someone put a noseprint on the lense, so that's why they look all blurry in the middle. I've got to take a photography class!

Still think of those twinkie like things. But I would have to say Zinger is better than Coco. I still think he looks like a Weasley. Orange hair and all.
