Nibbles' Engineering Marvel

Nibbles was a furry engineer. A Chilean degu with agouti fur and a tufted tail, he approached life as a series of projects to be organized. His enclosure was a masterpiece of shredded paper tunnels, hidden food caches, and carefully arranged bedding. He'd spend hours rearranging popsicle sticks, stopping only for frantic wheel runs or social grooming sessions with his cage mate. The rodent room is too orderly now, missing the constant rustling of construction projects, the soft 'chirrup' conversations, and the sight of him sitting upright, tiny hands full of bedding, surveying his domain.
