Hara’s namesake is the Greek word for Joy, due to his bubbly personality. This boy never fails to entertain his fosterer, and has bloomed from the runt in his batch of 3 boys to a relatively cuddly, (for a robo) food motivated, active boy.

Hara loves all forms of food, from his Fatpouches Premium mix to superworms, pine nuts, and coconut flakes. This is extremely evident from his chunky frame, as he’s nearly double the size of his counterparts of the same age. However, his weighty physique does not hamper a robo’s inherent speed and squirminess so potential adopters are to take note to be extremely careful when handling him and ensure that he does not escape from their grasp.

Hara is a burrower, and a deep layer of paper bedding and other substrates such as a safe form of wooden bedding is necessary. Furthermore, he requires a large portion of his cage to be filled with sand, (minimally 30 – 50%) in order to keep his lustrous piebald coat nice and grease free. He can be easily tempted to you with a superworm or delicious treat, and can be spotted running his heart out during the wee hours of the night in a pitch black environment. However, he does pee on his wheels and saucer, so daily washing of said wheel is recommended in order to prevent any bacterial build up.

Will you adopt this chirpy and chonky boy?
