Adoption information
About Chocolate & Butternut
Chocolate and Butternut came to us as part of a group of six males. It took a little time to find the right companions for everyone in the group, but these two have now settled in beautifully together here at the Lair.
Both boys are around one year old. They currently live comfortably in a 1400 × 700 enclosure, though a C&C setup would also suit them very well. Because they weren’t handled very much in their previous home, they are still quite quick on their feet. With patience and gentle handling, they should continue to grow in confidence. Watching them zoom around together is half the fun!
Medical notes
No known pre-existing conditions.
