Dill Prickles, hedgehog

Dill Prickles is a male hedgehog currently housed at MN Pocket Pet Rescue.

Dill Prickles is vaccinated.

Notes from Dill Prickles' caretakers:

Dill Prickles is very shy. He sleeps most of the day but we hold him and play with him in the evening. With strangers, he is fearful and doesn't let anyone touch him without him running away. But have no fear, because Dill Prickles is in our trust training program for extreme shyness. We’ve been working with him to feel more comfortable when held, and he’s been taken out and exposed to sounds that won’t hurt him. He’s been doing great and does unball and explore. If you have a soft spot for hedgehogs, come and meet him soon.

Briar, sugar glider

Briar is a female sugar glider currently housed at MN Pocket Pet Rescue.

Briar has been vaccinated.

Here's what Briar's friends at MN Pocket Pet Rescue think of her:

Briar is just over a year old and already has an inquisitive, friendly personality toward humans. She is chatty, playful and easily allows you to pick her up. Her favorite treats include white chocolate chips and honey sticks. Also, she enjoys running on the wheel in her cage and cuddling with her cage mates. Briar is believed to be female but has an underdeveloped pouch; she should be kept with neutered males or other females.

Phillip, sugar glider

Phillip is a lovable male sugar glider currently residing at MN Pocket Pet Rescue.

Phillip has been vaccinated.

From Phillip's current caretaker:

Phillip is about three years old and just as inquisitive and friendly toward humans as his sister. He even likes the same  treats (white chocolate chips and honey sticks) and enjoys running on the wheel and cuddling. The best way to tell Phillip apart from his sister is the little kink at the end of his tail.

Maisy, bunny rabbit

Maisy is a female bunny rabbit being cared for at MN Pocket Pet Rescue.

She has been vaccinated. Maisy is a special needs pet, so please inquire about her specific care requirements.

Maisy's current caretakers say:

Maisy is playful and energetic and friendly toward both other animals and human friends. Her favorite treats are Oxbow baked and yogi drops. She paper tubes with hay inside them and time outside as much as possible. Maisy is partially blind, but we think she can see light sources and possibly fuzzy objects. Occasionally, she struggles with  activities like finding dropped treats or doesn't see hands moving to pet her. Typically, you don't even notice she has a hard time; she definitely doesn't let it slow her down. She gets around new places with ease and is very curious and sweet.

Cumulus, chinchilla

Cumulus is a male chinchilla currently residing at MN Pocket Pet Rescue.

He has all his shots.

Here's what Cumulus' friends at MN Pocket Pet Rescue think of him:

Cumulus loves to run on his wheel and lounge in hammocks. He is generally most active in the evening when I take him out. He runs on his wheel at night a lot and loves to get chin scratches. He would prefer a friend in his adoptive home.
