UPDATE 7\/11\/25:<\/strong><\/p>\n

These boys came from an under socialized environment, other than the fact they were housed with one another. Yet somehow they are human friendly.<\/p>\n

Baloo, believed to be a Silver fawn Rex, is just a gentle, slow giant. He doesn’t love petting or to be carried, but he LOVES live mealworms and does not bite.<\/p>\n

Bear, the Agouti Rex (Brown curly), is the most hesitant to be with humans, but has shown no aggression. He does enjoy head and back patting but will squeak initially. Bear loves sunflower seeds.<\/p>\n

The star of the trio, Bjorn, is a Himalayan (potential rex) as well. He is always front and center, first to come to humans, first to take treats (and not so gently), and the first to want human attention. He’s an absolute pleasure and the smallest of the bunch.<\/p>\n

These boys seem very bonded, grooming each other and playing together.<\/p>\n

These boys will need someone patient and willing to continue working with them. They are healthy, litter trained, and friendly but scared. With time, I know they will be wonderful companions.<\/p>\n<\/div>
