Peter should not interact with children due to his biting history.<br/><br/>Health concerns: None<br/><br/>Behavioral concerns: Peter Cottontail is in our trust training program for shyness. Peter is very resistant to being picked up. You cannot pick him up by hand, and it is difficult to coax him into a box to use the transport box method. We have been working on getting him used to people by talking to him frequently and spending time with him. He enjoys coming to the front of the cage to say hi and see what we are up to! Peter has a history of biting, but has gotten a lot better in the last few months. He has not bit anyone for several months now.<br/><br/>Other notes: Peter is still getting used to his new foster home. We are taking it slow by showering him with treats and attention through the cage doors. Hes not quite sure if he wants to receive pets or not. If he is annoyed or scared, he will sometimes nip.<br/><br/>Transferred from TWAR <br/><br/>Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. This animal's foster parent prefers to meet at the Petsmart - 1640 New Brighton Blvd, Minneapolis, MN 55413 for meet & greets, & adoptions. <br/><br/>Fee: Peter & Marshmallow will have a combined adoption fee of $35<br/><br/>We absolutely DO NOT SHIP ANIMALS!
