Escape artist extraordinaire, Bones can often be found sleeping in dark, sheltered areas or buried deep under bedding, like a pile of bones. He is frequently caught sleeping even when it’s mealtime and is often the last to wake even while the rest of his siblings are already busy stuffing food in their faces and while his foster mum is trying to stroke him awake.
When he wakes, he generally tends to do so in a panic and you’ll catch a glimpse of a dark shadow bolting across the cage.
Bones is very likely to leap off tall surfaces just to get away from human hands no matter the height. It is highly recommended to start taming and getting him used to human hands before picking him up and lifting him off the ground. Due to this, his fosterer is unable to recommend for children or inexperienced handlers to adopt him. Any handling should be done in very slow and controlled movements.
During free roam, he will take some time to warm up his engine by grooming for around 3 mins or so. After that, off he goes to explore and poke his nose and try to squeeze into every hole. He loves to climb so please do watch him very closely when he's out. But he is growing to be a cute sweetheart who would respond to the relentless calls from his fosterer every morning (just to check that he has not escaped in the night).
