Roborovski Dwarf Hamsters:
|
Name: Digit
Sex; Male Age: 1 year Status: Available Health: Healthy Notes: Digit arrived in our care after a concerned volunteer saw him being given away free to anyone. Worried about where he would end up, they kindly brought him to us so we can find him a proper well-vetted home. Digit loves to burrow and build huge nests. He's very friendly for a Roborovski and does tolerate gentle handling. His original home had poor and outdated husbandry standards, so Digit really deserves the perfect forever home so he can experience what every hamster needs. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |

Name: Buzz
Sex: Male Age: Around 6 months Status: Available Health: Some small wounds upon arrival from fighting with another hamster, but these have healed well. No further issues. Notes: Buzz is sadly a victim of pet shops. He was sold with another roborovski, something which has been discouraged for a while now. Unfortunately, Buzz fatally attacked his cage mate, but didn't come away unharmed. His owners loved him dearly and realised they'd been misinformed - something which is so common. They wanted Buzz to live the life he deserved with the correct husbandry standards, so they signed him over so we could give him just that. He's settled in very well and absolutely loves to burrow. He's rarely spotted out and about, but you will see him late evening coming out for some snacks and exercise. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |

Name: Skye
Sex: Female Age: Under 1 year Status: Available Health: Healthy Notes: Skye arrived as part of a larger case where multiple roborovskis were left to breed out of control. Fortunately, our 5 females were not pregnant, and have been monitored for a typical gestation period. Skye is quite shy, but will come out around dinner time and wakes later in the evening. She's not a fan of handling and prefers to be left to her own devices. Despite not being overly tolerant of handling, she is friendly. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |

Name: Annie
Sex: Female Age: Under 1 year Status: Available Health: Healthy Notes: Annie arrived as part of a larger case where multiple roborovskis were left to breed out of control. Fortunately, our 5 females were not pregnant, and have been monitored for a typical gestation period. Annie is quite confident and will come out to investigate any interference with her enclosure. She's a very typical look-but-don't-touch robo, but her bold personality still shines through. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |

Name: Willow
Sex: Female Age: Under 6 months Status: Available Health: Healthy Notes: Willow arrived as part of a larger case where multiple roborovskis were left to breed out of control. Fortunately, our 5 females were not pregnant, and have been monitored for a typical gestation period. Willow is one of the youngest of the 5 robos who landed in rescue. She's veru quick and shy, which is understandable given her very poor start in life. She'd be best suited to someone experienced with roborovskis. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |

Name: Liz
Sex: Female Age: Under 6 months Status: Available Health: Healthy Notes: Liz arrived as part of a larger case where multiple roborovskis were left to breed out of control. Fortunately, our 5 females were not pregnant, and have been monitored for a typical gestation period. Liz has been in foster with the wonderful Zara. She's very timid, which isn't too uncommon with younger hamsters. She prefers not to be handled, but does always come out to investigate when she knows us humans are around. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |

Name: Bright
Sex: Female Age: Under 1 year Status: Available Health: Healthy Notes Bright arrived as part of a larger case where multiple roborovskis were left to breed out of control. Fortunately, our 5 females were not pregnant, and have been monitored for a typical gestation period. Bright has been in foster with Zara and she reports that she's quite confident for a robo. She tolerates a gentle stroke when having something to eat, but handling still isn't her strong point. With time and someone she becomes familiar too, we think she will continue to grow in confidence. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |
Russian Dwarf Hamsters:

Name: Oliver
Sex: Male Age: Under 1 year Status: Available Health: Healthy Notes: Oliver arrived as part of a large hoarding case. Over 400 animals were removed from a property; we took 33 hamsters initially. Fortunately, most of the animals were in ok conditions, but most of the females were pregnant, nursing, or both. Oliver arrived at the rescue at only a few weeks old. Unfortunately, their Mother wasn't in the container with them, so we suspect she'd been removed as she was nursing another litter. Oliver hasn't let his past shape him; he's a super sweet hamster, though he can be a little dramatic if you wake him during the day.. Oliver would be suitable for a confident handler, and will need someone committed to socialising him as he reaches adulthood. Minimum: £20.00 |

Ryder is quite nosey, so often comes out to see what's going on if there's any disturbance to his enclosure. He has a lovely nature, and with continued socialising, he should blossom into a lovely boy. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |

Name: Fanta
Sex: Male Age: Under 1 year Status: Available Health: Healthy Notes: Fanta was part of a large case where hamsters had been left to breed out of control. There was around 50 individuals, many of which will be pregnant. Thanks to an amazing network of rescues wanting to help, all of the hamsters got rescue space. We were only able to commit to 5 individuals as our numbers are still high from the previous hoarding case we assisted with. Fanta has been in foster since arriving with us. His foster has committed lots of one-to-one time with him. Fanta is a friendly hamster, but is at his best once you've given him a few moments to properly wake up. He always comes to say hello to us humans whenever he knows we are around. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |

Name: Mist
Sex: Male Age: Under 1 year Status: Available Health: Healthy Notes: We organised a large case of over 30 Russian dwarf hamsters. They were in incredibly poor housing. As the owner ran out of options for separating fighting colonies, they kept some in water bottles with no access to food or water. Many hamsters were incorrectly sexed, resulting in further pregnancies. Thanks to rescues pulling together, all hamsters secured rescue space. We were able to offer 5 of them rescue space. Mist has been in foster with the wonderful Rosie and has really grown in confidence. He does have days where he would prefer to be left to his own devices, but he's still a very friendly hamster who we don't doubt will make his new owner very happy. Minimum Donation: £20.00 |
