Each litter is raised in a home space that emphasizes daily interaction, early socialization, and enrichment. Housing includes varied climbing structures, nesting spots, and supervised free-roam sessions in a secure environment. Montavilla’s focus on traits like clear eyes and smooth coats supports selection for robust health and balanced temperaments.

Diets consist of high-quality rodent pellets, fresh produce, and occasional protein treats tailored to developmental needs. Owners often note the breeder’s prompt communication and detailed care instructions shared throughout the process. Enclosures feature easy-to-clean cages with safe bedding, and lineages are carefully tracked to support healthy genetic diversity.
