---
- A spunky girl who loves adventure and prefers exploring with you rather than cuddling; definitely a busy bee and likes to stay occupied with toys and treats
- Not super comfortable with being touched right now and prefers when handling is on her terms; OK with gentle chin scratches from people she knows and is not afraid to use her voice to let you know when something is not OK
- Gets the zoomies when she's excited and will run around, parkouring off her little hammocks and benches; also loves climbing and adores having as many perches and hammocks as possible; will happily people-watch from her hammock when she's all tuckered out
- Likes anything chew-related, and likes to carry things in her mouth while she zooms around
- OBSESSED with dust baths, and will excitedly chirp when she sees her foster family preparing them
- Has done well with pre-teens and teenagers after a slow introduction, and is generally respectful of people as long as they understand her boundaries
- Has made lots of progress with being around a chinchilla-friendly cat and dog in her foster home and is now very fond of the cat and will happily share her space with it; still gets pretty spooked by the dog, but has been able to relax when seeing him as long as he is respectful of her space
- Has interacted with another chinchilla for playtime but is used to having her own enclosure; will likely do best with slow introductions to any new animals and people
- Looking for a calm, quiet, predictable environment with patient humans who will let her open up at her own pace
