Fosterer’s Instagram: @sailing_contradictions

Emmy is a huge fan of millet and burrowing, and she can only be found deep below her bedding with her huge stash of millet grains (Much to her fosterer’s disdain as the remnants are littered all over her setup). Hailing from the recent Bedok abandonment, she is still rather skittish of human hands though she is starting to realize that hands do mean treats and will sometimes take her pine nuts and tofu from them. Emmy is not a picky eater and will clear her food bowl happily, though she is still inconsistent with her potty training and sometimes pees on her wheel, so any potential adopters should avoid wooden ones unless maintained well to keep costs low.

Emmy would be well suited for a family with a quiet environment and gentle handling so she can blossom into the foodie that she is!
