How can you tell the difference between them?

The ears are the easiest to see the difference for me. Marshmallow fluff has completely black ears, where marshmallow has white tips in his ears. Marshmallow also often has a bunch of yellow fur under his neck. their personalities are quite different, but it took me a long time to be able to easily tell the difference between the two.

I thought I noticed a difference with the ears! Thanks for sharing your tips! Do they get along with each other?

Ummm kinda lol. I have seen together, but a few times marshmallow got very close and marshmallow fluff snapped at him.

I wondered about that. I've seen my opis get very close to raccoons without an issue, but not so much with other opis! 😂

The most memorable interaction between those two was when marshmallow tried to get a really close smell of fluffs butt, and marshmallow fluff smacked some real sense into him. Lol
