These little babies were rescued with their mom, Donburi, shortly after she had given birth to them. Despite a rocky start at life, they have grown to be strong, active little ones! They're currently fed Fatpouches' Seed Mix and crumbled Mazuri Lab Block.

Here's a short introduction to the 4 cuties:

  • Oyako (Pearl Female) : Oyako is a calm girl that is oblivious to her surroundings. She does run away fast from hands but is alright if slowly approached. (Adopted)

  • Tonkatsu (Standard Male): Tonkatsu is a little shrieky, especially if grabbed, but would climb onto your palm if done slowly! He is generally skittish and is fast to dodge things that scare him. (Adopted)

  • Shirasu (Pearl Male): Shirasu enjoys being held and would (frantically) climb up your palm if he sees your hand! (Adopted)

  • Tempura (Standard Male): Tempura loves to interact with hands by giving soft nibbles and licks. (Adopted)

The 3 males are bonded and can be adopted either singly or as pairs.
