Nugget is one of the abandoned case at AMK in Sep 2022 together with the rest of them in a tiny cage without any food and water.

Nugget is a charming boy, but shy and timid initially given his harsh background. However, he has shown improvement in his fosterer’s home over time as his confidence builds up each day. This cute boy will peep out from his granite at times when you call him. Once the lights are dimmed, he will transform into a speedster buzzing with energy, running on the wheel all through the night.

Despite a rough start in life, Nugget is opening up and gradually getting used to human touch. He now allow for head rubs when he is eating. However, future adopter will have to be very patient with him as he has a tendency to freak out when he is startled. Once he is comfortable with you, he will sit on your palm and enjoy his food.

As Nugget has a rather sensitive nose, it would be much preferred if the future adopter could use non-dusty bedding such as the Teabag bedding.

With lots of love and patience, he can blossom into a charming, cuddly prince! Will you be the one to nurture this young “hamsome” boy?

Cage: Unbarred cage 90x50x50cm or above

Wheel: 28/30cm wheel (NO wooden wheel as he might still pee on it)

Sand: Wittemolen or Versele Laga chinchilla sand

Diet: Currently being fed Fat Pouches Summer Syrian mix and ultimate Syrian mix
