My story

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

Estimated birth date: 6/1/2019

Personality: Inquisitive, Friendly toward humans, Friendly toward other animals, Chatty, Playful, Enjoys being held, Sweet

Favorite treats: Oxbow Hay biscuits, bell peppers

Favorite toys and activities: Moving her stuffed animals around, knocking over the hay bin

Potty trained: We're working on it!

This animal's daily routine: Mafalda greets her foster parents every morning with happy wheeks, knowing that a breakfast of yummy oxbow pellets is soon to arrive. On weekends, Mafalda gets time outside her enclosure during the day; on weekdays, her playtime is in the evening. Dinner time comes in the evening with all of her fresh veggies.

BFF (Does this animal have or need a same species friend in their home?): Yes! Mafalda is bonded to her sisters Gnocchi and Penne!

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Cats- curious, investigative, eventually indifferent

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? Mafalda has not been exposed to children in her foster home.

Health concerns: None

Behavioral concerns: None

Other notes: Mafalda is the most outgoing of her sisters, and is not afraid to boss them around! She begs for attention and is always the first to greet you at the front of her cage. Mafalda is happy to receive pets and enjoys being held, though we're still working on her bravery with being picked up initially.

Penne, Mafalda, & Gnocchi made their way to MNPPR after their previous home became too busy to provide proper care.

Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. Mafalda’s foster parent prefers to meet at the Petsmart - 8460 Tamarack Village, Woodbury, MN 55125 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Our adoption process can be found on our website here: https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/process

Fee: Penne, Mafalda, & Gnocchi have a combined adoption fee of $85

We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS! Please do not ask.
