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
________________________________________________________________________________
Note from Thumper's Foster: "This family of boys came to the rescue very shy and nervous, but with a little coaxing (and a lot of treats) they are all warming up to me! Now they run to my hand when I open the cage door, looking for a snack. I just have to make sure I have a treat ready for each guy to take, or there will be some brotherly rivalry!"

Estimated birth date: 04/01/2025

Personality: Clingy, Cuddly, Enjoys being held, Friendly toward humans, Inquisitive, Nervous, Sweet

Favorite treats: Peas, lima beans, Cheerios, bananas, grapes.

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

Favorite toys and activities: Exploring, hiding, climbing, hammocks

Potty trained: Litter box trained

This animal’s daily routine: Flexible. He is used to sleeping during the day and being active at night

BFF (Does this animal have or need a friend of the same species in their home?): Thumper needs a buddy in his adoptive home.

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: None

Has this animal been exposed to children? What was their reaction? None

Health concerns: None

Behavioral concerns: He's sometimes a little nervous/jumpy, so he'd probably do well in a quieter environment.

Other notes: I speak in a soft voice, let him come up and sniff me, and take treats from my hand. Thumper is probably the bravest of the group. He was the first to come up to me, sniff me, and take treats from my hand.

Transferred from TWAR

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: Thumper's adoption fee is $20

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

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