My story

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

Meet Nettie!

Joined us in: November 2025

About Nettie:
• A sweet little foodie who loves her meals and cozy time tucked away in her hut
• Can be a bit skittish when being picked up, but once settled she relaxes and enjoys cuddles
• Gentle, calm, and comfortable in her routine
• Curious and content with a mix of quiet time and gentle activity

Her perfect match:
• A home with some daily activity, ideally on the quieter side
• A family that understands she may need a moment to feel secure when being handled
• Would do well with children who are gentle and respectful

Some extra facts about Nettie:
• Currently lives happily with her sister, Luna, and has not been exposed to other pets
• Settles into new environments almost instantly — usually within minutes
• Lives in a large, fleece-lined floor enclosure
• Loves all kinds of veggies, especially greens, cucumber, carrots, and snap peas

In short:
Nettie is a cuddly little companion who may start off shy in your hands but quickly melts into a relaxed, affectionate friend. With a calm home, tasty treats, and cozy hiding spots, she’ll feel right at home in no time at all.
