Meet Boudica

Due to health and safety concerns, we are now pursuing adoptions with additional safety measures in place. We will be asking potential adopters to discuss their individual preferences and comfort levels involving safety precautions during the greeting/adoption day step. We are HIGHLY suggesting all participants wear facial coverings, stay at least six feet apart, & use sanitization of all surfaces, and hands before and after contact.

Estimated birth date: 11/1/2017

Personality: Inquisitive, Friendly toward humans, Friendly toward other animals, Chatty, Playful, Mouthy (puts mouth on you but does not bite down, usually thinking your fingers are food), Sweet, does not like being pet or held

Favorite treats: Red bell peppers (only red- she will give you some attitude if you try handing her any other color), carrots, romaine hearts, and apple pieces for an extra special treat

Favorite toys and activities: Boudica loves rearranging her cage (nothing is allowed to touch the edges of the cage). She enjoys exploring new things and places. Boudica has not shown any preferences for any particular toys. She mostly likes to chew on cardboard and the bars of her cage.,LOVES her Timothy hay cave and crinkle tube.

Potty trained: Does not use a litter box but only potties in cage

This animal daily routine: Boudica is used to getting breakfast around 6am and dinner around 6pm. She gets frequent, small veggie treats throughout the day to get her more used to positive human interaction. Boudica is very inquisitive and appreciates it when her foster parent allows her to thoroughly sniff their hand before they go about tidying her cage or picking her up.

BFF (Does this animal have or need a same species friend in their home?): No, but Boudica will need a guinea pig buddy in her adoptive home.

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Boudica has been exposed to her foster parent's cats and is very interested in them. She likes to sniff the cat's face through the bars of her cage when the cat comes up to her.

Health concerns: Boudica has a condition known as pea eye. This does not affect her other than cosmetically and does not cause discomfort at this time, but should be monitored for worsening as treatment may be necessary down the road.

Behavioral concerns: Despite being a very chatty and inquisitive gal, Boudica does not like being pet or picked up. She responds well to her foster announcing themselves when approaching her cage and allowing her to sniff their hands before interacting with her or anything in her cage.

Boudica found her way to MNPPR after her owner was unable to provide proper care.

Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. Boudica’s foster parent prefers to meet at the Chuck & Don's Pet Food & Supplies 3244 W Lake St, Minneapolis, MN 55416 for meet & greets, & adoptions.
