Meet Shar
Shar is an inquisitive and gentle girl who is always listening when spoken to and will happily come over to check whether you have brought her a treat! She is very neat, likes everything in its place and will race particularly tasty snacks back to her hide for safekeeping.
Curious about the world beyond her enclosure, Shar is still building her confidence. She will sniff hands and place her tiny paws on them while working out that she is safe. With patience, we are confident she will soon enjoy exploring a playpen.
Her current favourites include her sand bath, wheel and bamboo root. Shar is ready to grow alongside a patient adopter and flourish into a loving, energetic companion.
