Brownie is a shy and polite boy who likes to chill in his hideout. This furball has a super cute baby face  and softest fur which will make you wanna cuddle him every day Just look like a little brown bear, Brownie has special coat mixed with black, brown and a little white hair under his mouth.

Although he might be shy in the beginning, this foodie can be bribed with food easily. When you have food on hand, Brownie will slowly walk out of hideout to beg for food with his innocent face. Dried fruits are his favorite treats. One thing to note is that, Brownie seems to be a vegetarian as he hates meat and mealworms. His fosterer found that he will take out all mealworms from bowl and never eat them no matter how hungry he is

Same as other toddlers, this young boy is extremely active during the nights. Brownie is a marathoner at heart. You will find this speedy boy running super fast on wheel and jump quickly. Brownie enjoy exploring enclosure and toys. He will feel happy to have many beddings and toys to explore.

This gentleman tends to be cautious when someone is near his cage. Especially when eating, he will stay cautious to check if anyone is looking at him. If he’s aware of you, he might be “frozen” until he find a safe place to hide. So it’s recommended to put some hideouts when bonding with him. Normally, this gentleman won’t bite unless he feel threatened. So it’s recommended to bond with this little boy by hand feeding every day.

When being handled, Brownie might be nervous and trembling in the beginning. Soon, he will calm down to lay on your chest.

With food and love, we believe this sweetie will gradually open up to his future family. The pawrent who are willing to bond with him patiently will be suitable for this shy baby. Are you ready to be surprised by this sweet furball ?
