I have been on the look out for a while now in the uk but haven't found any. Are they available elsewhere?
thanks

I must admit i haven't seen any for a while in the uk although they were very common going back 15 or 20 years ago - i'll keep my eyes open as you've got me a bit intrigued now

They have been available--I used to have a group of four which I got at a small pet shop--but I haven't seen any lately.
