Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food, Fruit, Veggies.
Favorite toys and activities: Nest building.
Potty trained: We're working on it.
This animal’s daily routine: Flexible. They get fed twice a day and I’m starting to get them used to having free roam in the evenings with dinner after so they go back into the cage.
BFF: Waseca and Elma are a bonded duo and must be adopted together.
Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Has been in two cat homes without direct interaction, no fear of cat smells
Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? With a prior foster, but reaction unknown
Health concerns: Permanent head tilt and imbalance from inner ear damage.
Behavioral concerns: None
Other notes: This group is currently being treated for URIs. Waseca is a very sweet girl but is likely to be permanently hand-shy. Because her inner ear is damaged, her balance is very bad, and being picked up makes her feel like she’s falling and she cannot reorient easily. It’s quite scary for her, and she flails and rolls a lot. I only handle her when strictly necessary, but hands make her nervous because she’s worried you’ll try to pick her up. Other than that, she’s friendly and very food motivated!
We recommend this group to an experienced adopter.
