ENERGY LEVEL:: We have no history on Roe so we cannot be certain of their behavior in a home environment. However, they will need daily mental and physical activity to stay engaged and exercised. We recommend long-lasting chews, food puzzles, and hide-and-seek games, in additional to physical exercise, to positively direct their energy and enthusiasm.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: Level 4

Recommendations:: No children (under 13)

Recommendations comments:: No children (under 13): Due to high level of fearful behavior we recommend an adult only home.

Potential challenges: : Fearful

Potential challenges comments:: Fearful: Roe has been observed to have a tense low body, whale eye, lip lick and seek exit when handlers attempt to interact. It is important to always go slow and give Roe the option to walk away from any social interaction. They should never be forced to approach anything that they are uncomfortable with or submit to petting or handling. It should always be their choice to approach a new person or thing. Roe would do best in an initially calm and quiet home environment and should be given time to acclimate to their new surroundings. Please see handout on Decompression Period.
