Panko was rescued as a tiny baby bean with her mama. She was the lone pup in the litter caused by a hoarding situation. Over the past few weeks, she has grown into an independent cheeky girl. She loves exploring and is super inquisitive and curious. She also loves to eat and will happily nom up all the treats she can get (although her mama loves to steal food from her >:( )
As she is still very young, Panko can be shy and jumpy at times. However she will gladly take treats from your hand! Her favourite foods are boiled egg, mealworms, and pinenuts, among others. She can often be seen foraging and rummaging around for hidden pieces of food!
Panko associates her fosterer with food and excitedly pokes her cute nose out of the bedding when she smells something good! She happily approaches humans (especially those carrying food!) and likes to nom in the open for everyone’s viewing pleasure.
A fun fact about Panko: Panko’s mama got pregnant right after giving birth to her, and subsequently gave birth to 2 young pups when Panko was 2.5 weeks old. As Panko was still nursing, the four of them were kept in the same cage. She turned out to be the best big sister, helping mama carry the babies around and being very gentle and caring towards them. Panko was separated from mama and siblings at 4 weeks old and now enjoys her own cage with lots of enrichment and space all to herself!
Panko is a happy and healthy lil girl who will definitely burrow her way into your heart!
