Chai Rehomed

Chai came to us from a tiny gerbilarium with no hiding space or enrichment. He is young and healthy but needs work to build his confidence with handling as he is startled very easily.

Chai, dwarf hamster

Chai was successfully rehomed in March 22 to a loving new home, where he has plenty of time, attention and space.

Further Details

Since arriving here Chai has demonstrated a keen sense of adventure and loves climbing! He is still easily startled and needs patience before picking up but he's showing zero signs of aggression and is fine once out. He has a lot of energy and curiosity. Also nicknamed 'Hot Chocolate' by our son, Chai loves chewing cardboard and enjoys his wheel.

Coco Rehomed

Coco came to us from an tiny cage and is loving having space to run around in. He's extremely friendly and calm.

Coco, syrian hamster

Coco was successfully rehomed in Jan 22 to a loving new home, where he has plenty of time, attention and space.

Further Details

Coco is such a calm Syrian hamster that he was the star of our yearly Christmas photoshoot! Though he's not a fan of being woken up (who is?!) given a little time and a regular routine, he's adapted very well to noisy family life. He's very easy to handle and loves to explore. Coco would be suitable for a patient child.

Eve Sanctuary

Eve came to us from an unsuitable cage and had been offered free to a good home. She's a very active and noisy girl.

Eve, dwarf hamster

Eve sadly developed a health condition that means she stayed here as a Sanctuary resident.

Further Details

Eve was living in a tiny cage with an unsuitable wheel and zero enrichment. She's loving having decent space and is extremely active. She is very keen on her wheel so this needs checking to make sure she does not develop an unhealthy obsession. Eve is quick and needs experienced and patient hands. She's a noisy hamster and does sometimes squeak when startled or simply feels like it.

We recommend all hybrid hamsters have regular weight checks, due to the potential of developing diabetes.

Moss Adoptable

Moss is a quiet chap who needs time to get used to you. 

Moss, syrian hamster

Moss has been successfully rehomed to a loving new home with plenty of space and attention

Further Details

Moss is a calm chap, who likes to know what is going on before he investigates it. He's a big fan of his wheel but isn't keen on much activity outside that. He'd benefit from a large enclosure and regular contact, but would prefer a playpen to investigate than hands to wander over.
