I've rescued an older (2+) male agouti with a not-so-great past.
He has been in a small travel sized cage his whole life.
At the beginning he had a brother, but "small cage fever" must have affected them, because the owners came home one day to find one and a half rats. Since then, he has not been handled and was named sharkey/jaws.
I've been taking things slow with him. He has not shown any signs of aggression and this morning he was a super licky boy.
Here he is exploring his new home:
He's been a loner for quite awhile. He looks small and lonely in his new home.
I hope to introduce him to his potential cagemates Zeddy and Roo in the future:
I'm thinking about naming him either Vitas (after the russian singer) or Besra (a small asian bird of prey).
