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

Estimated birth date: 2/1/22

Personality: Inquisitive, Friendly toward humans, Playful, Energetic

Favorite treats: Pumpkin seeds

Current diet: 50/50 guinea pig pellets and chinchilla pellets & Timothy hay

Favorite toys and activities: Running on his wheel. Chewing on cardboard and cuddling with cage mates.

Potty trained: No

This animal’s daily routine: Hay and pellets checked in the morning around 7 am. Floor time in the afternoon with Robin and Maurice. Pumpkin seeds treat when taken out of the cage.

BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?):
Barry, Robin, & Maurice are a bonded trio and must be adopted together.

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Cat and dog. Indifferent.

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction?
No

Health concerns: None

Behavioral concerns: None

Other notes: Maurice is an entertaining and energetic little guy. Will run to the front of the cage when opened and smells fosters hands. Makes lots of chittering noises at cage mates. Very inquisitive. Willingly gets into carrier or box when being removed from the cage. Will not allow you to pick him up.

Barry, Robin, & Maurice came to MNPPR in hopes of finding a better-suited home for degus needs.

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.

Fee: Barry, Robin, & Maurice have a combined adoption fee of $35

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