My story

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

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

Bombur, named after a dwarf who accompanied Thorin and Bilbo on their journey to the Lonely Mountain in LOTR. Bombur has been in rescue for almost 3 years, loves his foster families' kiddos, and hopes to find his forever family in his senior years with someone special who will continue providing passion and love.

---Learn a little more about Bombur below---

Estimated birth date: 3/1/19

Personality: Curious, Dignified, Friendly toward humans, Inquisitive, Readily allows you to pick it up, Smart.

Favorite treats: Loves his Vit C cookies.

Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Guinea Pig Food, Veggies, Leafy Greens, Western Timothy & Orchard Mix

Favorite toys and activities: Chewing on empty paper towel tubes

Potty trained: Haven't tried.

This animal’s daily routine: Hay, pellets and fresh breakfast in the morning, exercise in the afternoon if possible, hay and pellets at night.

BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?): Bombur recently lost his cagemate, Gimli. Bombur now needs a buddy in his adoptive home.

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Neighbor dogs have barked at him through the fence; He doesn’t seem to mind them

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? Daily exposure to multiple children; doesn’t mind being held

Health concerns: None

Behavioral concerns: None

Other notes: He calmed down the most when he was with Gimli and did best when they were together. Because of this, we feel he needs a buddy as soon as possible.

Gimli & Bombur came to MNPPR when their previous owner & adopter were unable to provide proper care.

Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. This animal's foster parent prefers to meet at the Roseville PetSmart - 2480 Fairview Ave N, Roseville, MN 55113 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Bombur has an adoption fee of $8.75

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

A portion of Bombur's care while in rescue has been sponsored by an anonymous donor! If you would like to donate to provide veterinary care, food, bedding, and enrichment for Bombur or other pocket pets in the care of MNPPR, please visit https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/sponsor-a-pocket-pet for more information.
