Kobe is a sweet, gentle baby boy who came from a rough background of extreme neglect. He was a little shy when he first arrived under his fosterer’s care, but despite his background he is super sweet and does not bite at all.

Fast forward to today, Kobe has been learning to trust hoomans and has quickly grown to become a very curious boy. If you place a mug/hideout inside his cage to transport him out, he will likely step in it. If your hands are inside the cage, he may sometimes walk towards your hand and sniff it.

Kobe is a very good boi; he toilet-trained himself with no effort from his fosterer, and he doesn’t try to escape from his cage.

When the lights are off, Kobe LOVES running on his wheel for HOURS on end. Funnily enough, he is a little shy to show off his athletic skills if the lights are on, hence do switch off the lights so he can exercise comfortably. Because he can run non-stop, silent wheels are highly recommended especially if his cage is in a bedroom. He is also more active at night and will move a lot when he’s out of his cage.

Even though he has a small frame, he enjoys trying out just about anything you give him, and will sometimes gobble up the food in his food bowl the moment it is refilled.

Kobe is still young and therefore quite skittish. Do warn him before you are about to touch him such as by talking to him and/or letting him see your hand before patting him. Once he knows you’re there, he won’t be scared and will enjoy your pats and back rubs.

If you’d like to see more photos/videos or have a chat about Kobe, you can DM his fosterer @hammy.hoo on Instagram!

Kobe is sure to win your heart, and needs someone who will love him unconditionally. Will you be the one for him?
