Hi there, I'm Gil! I'm a bit of a goofball, always making my pals, Yeti and Marlon, chuckle at my antics. I'm quite the explorer too, my curiosity knows no bounds. I love running through tunnels and climbing around my cage. But don't worry, I'm not all play. I'm also very sweet and friendly, always ready for a cuddle or a chat. I'm hoping to find a family who loves fun and adventure as much as I do. If you're looking for a playful, curious, and friendly companion, I'm your guy!
