About Teak
Meet Teak, a solid young mouse that is sure to capture your attention! This funny little man is always busy digging, climbing, and running around. He also enjoys sleeping in a hammock and cozy nest. His pretty dove grey coat gives Teak a soft appearance.
Teak is looking for a home where he'll be treated like the special individual that he is. Like most mice, Teak isn't looking for a cuddle. Rather than physical affection, his love language is gifts -- enjoy watching him explore new toys and find new foods as you slowly gain his trust.
To someone so tiny, children can be unintentionally frightening. For this reason, Teak is better suited to a home with teenagers or adults only. If you have cat or dog family members, put thought into how you'll keep them safely away from his cage. As he is an entire male, Teak must be housed alone.
Can you offer Teak a safe, engaging home for the rest of his life (1-2 years)? If so, send us an enquiry and we'll get back to you as soon as possible to make his dreams come true!
Teak will be treated with a parasite preventative prior to adoption.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
Adoption details
All of our animals are seeking indoor only homes. We do not adopt out any animal to live alone (excluding entire male mice). If you do not have one or more compatible animals of the same species, you must adopt a bonded pair or group.
Once you apply to adopt, we'll talk with you about proper care of the animals you're looking to adopt, discuss any concerns you or we might have, and tell you more about our available animals. To speed up the process, please include as much detail as possible about your situation, other animals, experience with the species you're looking to adopt, and intended housing/diet when you apply. If there's a particular vet clinic you intend to use, please tell us the name (otherwise we can help you locate one that is knowledgable in small animals).
As part of the adoption process we require photos of a complete, suitable set up. We can provide care advice, and suggest contacting us prior to buying any cages or items for your new family members as many sold for small animals are not appropriate. We've also outlined our housing expectations on our social media, but don't be intimidated! We are here to help, not judge.
At the time of adoption, you'll be asked to pay an adoption fee and sign an adoption form. You'll receive an adoption packet including a detailed care guide for the species you've adopted, an adoption certificate, and any relevant veterinary records (proof of vaccination and sterilisation, microchip details, etc).
