Creme (Adopted)

Species: Winter White Dwarf

Estimated age: Unknown

Gender: Female

Likes: Dried tofu, pine seeds, hippo hide, sitting on her wheel and in her bathing sand, exploring her freshly cleaned cage

Dislikes: Being carried, being disturbed when in hide/ resting

During the day, Crème enjoys snuggling in thick bedding in different kinds of hide, but has a special affinity with the hippo (as in the pictures). Being a true nocturnal, Crème normally comes out to play, eat and explore at nightfall especially if she hears the treat bag rattling, or thinks there’s a possibility of being given treats. She is often found maintaining her fur fluffy and beautiful in her bathing box and would peer around curiously if she hears/ sees her fosterer peeping at her. 

Crème generally has a good temperament but is still learning to trust human hands and may nip. That said, she happily accepts treats from hands. She prefers not to be picked up but does not mind pats while distracted - this can only improve with time and patience. 

Crème tends to pee on her wheel and hence would require regular wheel cleaning to keep her fur looking fabulous. She also tends to jump off surfaces and hands despite the height, so experienced handlers would be preferred.
