    The “All Creatures” boys are settling nicely into their foster home. When not sleeping, these bundles of energy keep busy zipping around their cage, exploring new objects, climbing the cage sides, ledges, and ropes, and foraging for food. And of course, wrestling with each other.<\/p>\n

    They are a mix of curious and wary. With sudden noise or movement, they may flinch or run to safety, then immediately poke their heads back out. When Cheerios are handed out, everyone usually appears and will eagerly take them from the foster\u2019s fingers.<\/p>\n

    Preferred free roaming style is directly from cage to play area when the security of their enclosure is readily accessible. Otherwise, they will generally enter a transport container to move to a play area farther away.<\/p>\n

    Honestly, their personalities can vary from day to day! Tristen is generally pretty chill and the more outgoing of the group. He allows pets while eating a treat and can usually tolerate being scooped up. James is fairly friendly, though not quite as trusting. Volenel is usually on the shyer side, but he is sometimes the first to approach for treats or leave the cage for free roam. Siegfried is perhaps the most reclusive but will sometimes surprise his foster by unexpectedly venturing out from his sputnik.<\/p>\n

    These boys can be very active and would be happiest with a busy cage with sufficient space that allows them room to run, climb, and search for their food. With time and patience, they can continue to grow into the confident boys they were born to be.<\/p>\n<\/div>
