Adoption information
About Winston & Walter
Winston and Walter came from a group of six males. It has taken some time to find the right companions for each of them among this half dozen!
These two have now settled in well together here at the Lair. Winston is around one year old, and Walter - his father - is a little older.
They currently live in a 1200 × 600 enclosure, however I do believe they would benefit from a little more space - ideally a 1400 × 700 enclosure or a C&C setup.
At the moment one will often stand on the tunnel while the other eats, and then they swap places. Hopefully we’ll be able to offer more space for them within the shelter soon - along with two tunnels so there’s no queue at snack time.
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
