Group Pets
Khushi
Khushi is interested in exploring the world of aroma and scent in the wild. She also enjoys learning games and has recently learned how to play hide and seek. She loves spending time with her puppy momma (Anjli) and her brother (Oppie).
Eris
Eris is interested in geophysics and geodynamics research, specifically in the area of digging holes to achieve perfect temperatures to sleep. She is vegetarian by choice and plans to live for 50 (±2) more years with her owner Eduardo. When she is in the mood, she likes to be pet and fed without hiding in her shell.
