Hamster Adoption Policy
Hamsters require a lot more space than many cages advertised as suitable for hamsters provide. Our minimum size requirement is 80cmx50cm of unbroken floor space (some hams may require more space – please see each individual animal description). Please take a look at our hamster advice page for ideas.
Prior to adoption we will carry out a set-up check, usually via email, to ensure the housing requirements for the animal you wish to adopt will be met.
Hamsters adopted from us must not be bred from under any circumstances.
Our adoption fee for a hamster is a £10 minimum donation to help cover the costs of caring for the animals at Tiny Paws MCR . Adopters must be aged 18+
Name: Gyoza
Species: Hybrid Russian Dwarf
Sex: Male
Age: Guesstimate 18 months
Status: Available for Adoption from 04/07/20
Gyoza joined us as his previous humans were moving house and unable to take their hamsters with them. He is a little nervous of hands and does sometimes test nip, but not hard. He won’t be suitable for handling by children.
Gyoza will require a minimum set-up size of 80x50cm on one level, with plenty of safe substrate for burrowing, and a minimum 20cm wheel.
Name: Bao
Species: Hybrid Russian Dwarf
Sex: Male
Age: Guesstimate 18 months
Status: Available for Adoption from 04/07/20
Bao joined us from the same home as Gyoza (they live separately). He is the slightly more confident of the two and very inquisitive. He is nippy towards hands while in his cage, but much more chilled once out. He won’t be suitable for handling by children.
Bao will require a minimum set-up size of 80x50cm on one level, with plenty of safe substrate for burrowing, and a minimum 20cm wheel.
