Oreo McFlurry (Adopted)

Species: Hybrid Campbell's dwarf

Sex: Male

Estimated age: Unknown; appears to be at least 3 months

Likes: Chilling in his sand, chilling generally, running fast on his wheel, pine nuts, mealworms

Dislikes: Dried flowers

Characteristics/quirks/habits: 

Oreo is a sweet and sociable ham who alternates between chilling and running furiously on his wheel — hence his name! When he isn't on his wheel, he's often found chilling out in the open throughout the day, pancaked in his sandbox or in one of the corners of his enclosure.

Despite his difficult start in life, he is not afraid of the human touch, and quite kaypoh. He's extremely gentle but may sometimes nibble fingers out of curiosity. He does get a little anxious during free-roaming, so we recommend placing a few hideouts to help him feel more comfortable during free roaming sessions. (Some food bribery will also help).

 

Oreo is just a happy little ham that will send a flurry of warmth right into your heart! Won't you let him in?
