Masking is a sweet gentleman and comes close to his fosterer every time he approaches his cage even during odd hours. He was small when rescued, but since then he has blossomed into a chonky and outspoken boy!

Masking loves to run and can be spotted at odd hours running on his30cm acrylic wheel, though he tends to pee on it mid-way. Sprays and other forage are also quickly stored and eaten by him, so owners would have to have a wide variety of them to satisfy his enrichment needs. Though he may come to you, a gentle hand to slowly hold him would be best, as he may nibble you inquisitively each time, thus he would be better for families with older children.
