Filika is a mother of four, and was separated from her kids a month back. Since then, she has changed from a screamy and perpetually terrified girl to an inquisitive and calm lady.

She is not picky with her mixes, and will eat anything that is introduced into her cage, from sprays to treats, but her adopter should take note to stick to her Fatpouches Mix as stated below for proper nutrition on a regular basis. She also adores pine nuts, and will happily climb onto your hand for pets if lured there with one. Following that (and if given enough pets), she will likely end up being a squishy pancake which can be cuddled and petted till she tires of it.

However, Filika is not potty trained, and though she does occasionally pee in her sand she is more than likely to mess up her wheel as well. Her adopter will have to take note of this and spot clean her wheel and sleeping areas regularly in order to prevent any buildup of dirt or germs. Will you be the one to give this cute girl a home?
