These delightful creatures require a very large amount of physical attention. They require one hour or more of daily interaction. They can get very demanding seeking continuous attention, especially at dawn and dusk.

Please remember that, like other active creatures, they can cause pain and may transmit disease to humans and other animals. Please clean and wash your hands before and after any interaction with this lovable specimen.

As any energetic being, they tend to be messy and require constant grooming. They love to be stroked, caressed, and even kissed.

Consult your doctor for more information.
