Emilio's Story

- A curious little explorer with a big personality packed into a tiny body <br/><br/>- Loves to pop out of his hidey house when you're cleaning to see what's going on and will happily greet you like you're the most interesting part of his day <br/><br/>- Likes burrowing in his aspen bedding and creating new tunnels and nests every day <br/><br/>- Enjoys running on his wheel; would likely benefit from some sort of cage topper where his sand bath and wheel can sit without getting his bedding on it <br/><br/>- Incredibly soft and very easy to watch <br/><br/>- Will take treats right from your hand and even allows gentle pets; okay with handling when his foster family needs to move him <br/><br/>- Adorable when he eats with his little hands <br/><br/>- Immediately gets to work redecorating after you tidy up his enclosure and will move his house, toys, and tunnels exactly how he prefers - it's like watching a little interior designer in action! <br/><br/>- Would be a delightful companion for someone who enjoys interactive small pets with lots of personality <br/><br/>- Foster family says he is a pretty independent fellow and would be a perfect low maintenance first pet Primary Color: Tan
