Dorayaki may look like a grumpy grandma, but she is actually a sweet and good-natured darling who enjoys exercising on her wheel and tunneling. It’d be great to include tunnels and connectors in her enclosure, and you can even configure them in different ways to intrigue her!

She was shy when she was first rescued and would camp in her hideout. She would only be active for a few hours at night, but after about 2 weeks, she would venture out from her hideout frequently even in the day, and would even respond to her fosterer’s voice! She loves any kind of treats and goes to wherever new treats are.

She had some wounds/redness on her face (under her right eye) when she was first rescued, but it has healed and gotten much better. It has, however, left a scar (probably why she looks grumpy).

She tends to nibble on hands if she’s spooked, such as if she were to be grabbed or carried suddenly. It’s best to give her some time when she first arrives at your home, and to always give her a little heads up before carrying her!
