Fat Amy came to her fosterer as a chonk. In the one month with her fosterer she became Fatter Amy, currently standing at a whooping 60g.

She is a simple lady, give her her favorite foods and a comfortable wheel to do cardio on and you’ll have a happy girl in your hands. At first she was really skittish and would scream when there were hands near her. Shortly after she started being a lot more brave and will come out when there are noises around her cage. Her favorite noise is the sound of her food bowl being refilled!

Although she does come out often, it is mostly to look for someone to give her food. Adopters need to be patient with handling her as she is still pretty fast and inappropriate handling might hurt her. However, once she is safely held, she enjoys a good massage on your palm.

She is currently using a 21cm wheel but a 25cm wheel is highly recommended as she is of a bigger size and sometimes sudden movements while she is running might make her fly off the wheel. A big sand bath is a must as she spends a lot of time in the sand doing her potty (yes she is potty-trained) and sleeping! She is currently using a 32cm x 19cm Daiso storage box as sand bath.

Requirements

Cage: 3200cm2 and above
Wheel: 21cm or 25cm (highly recommended)
Bedding: Paper or birch bedding
Food: Fatpouches Standard Mix, appropriate amount of fresh foods (vegetables and fruits) 3-4 days a week
Enrichment: Big sandbath, minimum 2 hideouts
