Profile:

Dora the Fluff is named as such because she is such a Dora the explorer. She loves roaming ALL over the cage, will rearrange the bedding and wheel and sand bath as per her preference. She loves climbing on anything and everything - her favourite spot is above her niteangel sandbox cover where she will have the highest vantage point. She will also climb on top of the wheel and get as high as she can.

She is really gentle and has never bitten or shown signs of aggression. She is not afraid of hands and will willingly take treats from hands, but she will still try to run when you pick her up, so be careful and win her favour so as to trick her into your hands. Once she is familiar with your hands and knows treats await her, she will willingly climb unto your hands. She is so fluffy (her fur is so long it curls), and her fur is so soft to pet.

Make sure you close the lid of her cage tightly because this girl will try to climb her way out whenever she can!
