Tuna (Adopted)

Species: Winter White
Estimated age: 2-2.5months
Gender: Male 
Likes: Screaming, mealworms, shelled walnuts
Dislikes: Being disturbed,  you touching his belongings, loud noises


Easily baited by mealworms, Tuna is actually a super curious boy! He comes out from his man cave pretty often and screams at you pretty often too! 

Although a baby, this chonky boy actually does not like being fed. He prefers to eat everything himself like a "big boy". 


Tuna can be startled quite easily so moving things around his cage can result in some unnecessary dramatic screams so try to be pretty quiet around him. He loves being in his moss and sand. 


He is not that comfortable with you around his cage yet but is an absolute sweetheart outside. If you ever need to bring him out, use a ladle to slowly scoop him up or just bait him with some treats! He enjoys occasional pats but do not overdo it. "Big boy" here is very manly, so he often doesn't like you to make him feel like a baby even though he is one. 


Our Tuna here would prefer to not be around children as he can get startled easily and can be difficult to handle for children.
