🐛Chubiru Behaviour
Chubiru are social, docile creatures. They are not harmful and will only attack for protection if threatened or if hunting for fish and bugs! Since they’re so social, chubiru stick in tribes of 3-8+ the more the merrier! Touch is their main way of communication and affection. Little gestures such as nuzzling or grooming each other’s fur can create a great bond between the interacting chibiri. They also communicate through multiple sounds; chirping, chitters, purrs, chuffs.

🌿What are Chubies?
Chubies are the Chubiru offspring! They’re born almost completely pale and without their beautiful vibrant colors. Chubies are also very small and fluffy and weak, making them an easy target for predators. Chubies spend a lot of their time sleeping once they hatch, and will often find all the offspring in a sleeping pile.
