Buttercup (Nautilus) came to us on 3/29/24 after being rescued from a friend of the surrenderer.  She had her babies shortly after.

Fostered by Lauren in Candia, NH.

UPDATE 5/11/24:

“Mom Buttercup (Nautilus) is shy but learning to trust. She has never nipped and lets me handle her babies with her there. She isn’t comfortable being picked up in bare hands but is good being picked up in fabric and will go in and out of a carrier easily by herself.

Urchin:  Loves treats and hammocks.

Periwinkle: Very playful, she is the flash.

Janthina: The snuggliest baby

Lyonsia: Playful and loves to climb!

All of the babies are friendly, easily handled, etc. Good eaters. Typical babies.”
