This animal daily routine: In the mornings they get a little bit of food and some attention while his foster tidies up their cage around 7:00 AM. In the evenings they get floor time around 6:00 PM along another cage tidy up and a food refresh. They sleep in their hammocks or pipes during the day and are very active at night.

BFF (Does this animal have or need a same species friend in their home?): Yes! Stream is bonded with Ocean!

Other species this pet has been exposed to and reaction: Dogs and cats through play pen walls and enclosure walls. Recent interactions have been non-reactive

Health concerns: None

Behavioral concerns: Stream has recently graduated from our Trust Training Program! He has a history of needing to learn positive associations with hands and that fingers do not always mean treats. His trust training has consisted of, always announcing yourself before touching, not presenting fingers in a manner that reflects food is being offered, & a little extra snuggle time.

Other notes: Stream was previously in our Trust Training Program but has really come out of his shell with proper handling and encouragement. Stream is a handsome, inquisitive little guy that is starting to understand that humans are very interesting and can be fun! He enjoys climbing on them during floor time in the playpen and likes to burrow under their crossed legs and then be petted and stroked. Stream is just a little bit on the shyer side but his brother Ocean is always there to show him how cool everything is.

Stream, & Ocean made their way to MNPPR as a transfer all the way from TN where they were a part of a hoarding case.

Due to our rescue being foster-based, not all foster homes are located in Saint Paul, MN. Stream’s foster parent prefers to meet at the Chuck & Don's Pet Food & Supplies, 910 Wildwood Rd, Mahtomedi, MN 55115 for meet & greets, & adoptions.
