My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Estimated birthdate: 9/8/13

Personality: Very shy (you are unable to touch this animal without it running away or being fearful, etc), Friendly toward humans, Lazy, Nervous, Mouthy (puts mouth on you but does not bite down, usually thinking your fingers are food), Sweet

Favorite treats: Yogurt drops

Favorite toys and activities: "Tub time"

Potty trained: No

BFF: Bleu

Other species pet has been exposed to and reaction: None.

Health concerns: Right now Cosmos is overweight so we're working on his diet and health with a good diet and exercise.

Behavioral concerns: Yes Cosmos and his bonded cagemate Bleu are both in our Trust Training Program for their fearfulness. Since being in our program Cosmos has gotten a lot better about people's hands. Cosmos's biting has only been involved when he believes my hand is food. It is in no way aggression. He's come out of his shell a ton and is going to be a super super sweet boy. Learn more about the Trust Training Program here; http://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/trust-training

Other notes: Cosmos will eventually progress to be extremely sweet, but it will take some time. His biting has already improved a ton, to the point where I'm barely worried about him biting me - but it is there and worth noting for people he doesn't know. He's a gorgeous boy, and I can already see that one day he'll be trusting. It won't be immediate, but it will be very rewarding.
