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: 01/29/2024

Personality: Curious, Hesitant, Inquisitive, Mouthy (puts mouth on you but does not bite down, usually thinking your fingers are food), Playful, Smart, Sweet

Favorite treats: Dried mealworms, cheerios, baby teething snacks.

Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food, Fruit, Veggies.

Favorite toys and activities: Exploring, running on the wheel.

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: Viroqua and Oakdale 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: Viroqua is a pretty chunky girl, with a skinny friend! Just make sure she doesn’t steal all their food!

We recommend this group to an experienced adopter.

Viroqua and Oakdale came to MNPPR as transfers from another rescue.

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 Petsmart - 1640 New Brighton Blvd, Minneapolis, MN 55413 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Fee: Oakdale & Viroqua have a combined adoption fee of $35

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

Viroqua's care while in rescue has not yet been sponsored. If you would like to donate to provide veterinary care, food, bedding, and enrichment for Viroqua or other pocket pets in the care of MNPPR, please visit https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/sponsor-a-pocket-pet for more information.
