shes just starting to warm up to being held. shes very very nervous. generally, we let her run around for a bit, we hold her to get her used to us, give her weekly baths because she gets dirty lol she runs on her flying saucer wheel, she plays with her toys (sticks her head in toilet paper tubes and runs around with them lol), sleeps, eats, and thats generally it really. they dont do too much. shes cute though and we love her. but they dont live long
they live 4-6 years, more often 4 years old. most dont make it past 4 due to developing cancer and other health issues. poke a roo is 2 years old. she was our friends but she travels a lot so she asked us to take her because she didnt have time anymore. they eat cat food supplemented with meal worms, fruits, and veggies. so far she will only eat banana lol she loves her meal worms and cat food though but not much else. theyre nocturnal, she comes out to run around in her cage from 10pm-12am lol and in the wee hours of the morning too ive heard her on her wheel. they need environment temps of minimum 74F
generally they dont bite, but their quills are very sharp. they roll up in a ball and spike themselves up and hiss when scared. they need larger cages to run around in as theyre very active and theyre prone to obesity.
