        They have a squeaky little voice, but yes they do talk... visited
     one in a local pet store last year that said "I love you!" "I love
     you!" over and over... instant crush on that little guy! :>

         That always helps.  Some people say to buy only a baby
      one, but it's hard to tell their personalities when they're
      little (just like human kids). At least with a "used" one you
      can see what they are like. Lots of things to consider....
