Conrad & Marvin (neutered)

Posted on by Rachel Shen
Conrad (albino) and Marvin (agouti) grew up together and have never been separated from each other. These two cuddle constantly and when they are in their cage, are often sleeping in a pile, or eating right next to each other. Of the two, Conrad is brave, outgoing, and extremely confident in himself. People don't make him nervous at all. He loves to run around on the ground and comes when you call. On the other hand, Marvin is a nervous wreck. New sounds, sudden movements, and especially new ...

Seth & Rogan

Posted on by Rachel Shen
These boys were transferred to us from the Gatineau SPCA after no one seemed to want to adopt them. We can't understand why, because honestly, Seth and Rogan are two of the sweetest boys we have ever met. They are curious, extremely gentle, and wonderful little beings who are calm and tolerate handling very well. Being picked up isn't their favourite thing, especially not for Seth who tends to be a bit squirmy, but once they are in your arms and have a nice sweater to snuggle into, they are c...

These brothers are extremely friendly and curious. They come to the cage door for kale (Mathias' favourite treat!), run around and explore in their play room, and enjoy interacting with their foster brothers. They absolutely LOVE to climb all over their foster mom and get the occasional head scratch. Mathias especially will beg at the door with his nose stuck as far out as possible. Though they are easy to handle, they aren't quite cuddly yet. Their natural curiosity means they would much rat...
