Charcollette (Adopted)

Species: Syrian

Gender: Female

Estimated Age: 1 year

Likes: Puree with oat, Corn and flax spray, xiaobaicai

Dislikes: anchovies, wheat spray.

Charcoal, coal, charred, chocolate.. these names came to mind when we were trying to name her. We ended up with sweet Charcollette. This ball of burnt potato is super active, loves climbing and had escaped twice from her cage when she first came to the fosterer's home. She CAN open an Alaska cage front door! So she definitely needs an unbarred cage with lid that can be locked/fastened.

Charcollette is a very sweet gal, so squishy and soooo soft to touch. She has gained quite a bit of weight over the months and is super chonky now . She doesn't mind being picked up, and occasionally will stay still for you to cuddle and massage.

She enjoys free roaming and will run about trying to find crevices and dark corners to chew and hide. Her fosterers let her out for hours, but she always seems to wants more. Her fosterers enjoy seeing her waddle across the room, showing off her pair of cute butt whiskers.

Household appliances, fear Charcollette! She will desecrate wires/cables and chew them up into bits and pieces. So please for her, and your cables' safety, keep the cables in her free roaming area covered or out of reach, otherwise you might find them chewed into half!

She is not fussy with food (hence the chonkiness ). She is potty trained and uses a sandbath. She also prefers to sleep in hideouts. Be warned, she is super active but is very entertaining to play with. She will climb all over you, on your head, into your shirt and pants.

Requirements:

Cage: Unbarred Cage with a lid that can be locked/fastened

Wheel: 30cm wheel
