They’re super cute! I love jumpers in general. Found a zebra jumper yesterday but he/she is too tiny to get a good pic of.

Yeah they are! And I’ve found Tan jumpers tend to be the calmest to hold. Although the main one I interacted with was pretty big, so probably calmer because it was an adult as well. I have a video of it on my Instagram @Annalise.a.l if you’d like to see it. 🙂 I’ve seen a couple zebra jumpers too! I think they stay pretty tiny.

Awesome I will check it out! I’ve only seen 1 Zebra jumper but my goodness they are pretty! I see alot of the tans too, I’ve never tried to hold one though, might try with the next calm one I see.
