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
________________________________________________________________________________
She takes time to warm up, but with patience and treats, she is a lot of fun.
Risk was/is a shy girl that has really warmed up to be held. She's super sweet.

Estimated birth date: 5/20/24

Personality: Curious, Friendly toward humans, Hesitant, Nervous, Quiet, Sweet, Very shy (you are unable to touch this animal without it running away or being fearful, etc)

Favorite treats: Bananas and eggs

Current Diet: Oxbow Essentials Adult Rat Food

Favorite toys and activities: When you hold her, she's still a little nervous, so she tries to hide in your clothes.

Potty trained: Litter box trained

This animal’s daily routine: Playtime in the evening

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

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Dog - runs away/hides

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? Older children. Let's them hold her.

Health concerns: None
Medical note: Battleship, Risk, and Catan are spayed/neutered.

Behavioral concerns: We're working on getting her used to being handled and associating the cage door opening with gentle touch and treats. She is slowly popping her head out and letting us pet her. We even had her relax in our arms and boggle.

AS OF 10/22/25, Risk has graduated from the trust training program!

Transferred from The Pipsqueakery

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, 299 12th St SW, Forest Lake, MN 55025 for meet & greets, & adoptions.

Fee: Battleship, Risk & Catan have a combined adoption fee of $350

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

Risk'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 Risk or other pocket pets in the care of MNPPR, please visit https://www.mnpocketpetrescue.org/sponsor-a-pocket-pet for more information.
