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 for dwarf hamsters and 100x50cm for Syrians (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 £15 minimum donation to help cover the costs of caring for the animals at Tiny Paws MCR . Adopters must be aged 18+
- Borlotti
Name: Borlotti
Species: Roborovski dwarf hamster
Sex: Male
Age: Approx 3 Months
Status: Available for adoption from 29th MayBorlotti came to us to find a new home as his human’s landlord wouldn’t allow animals. He has been enjoying a significant enclosure upgrade since arriving with us and particularly loves his large sand area and digging in his deep substrate.
Like most robos, Borlotti is a very speedy guy and isn’t suitable for handling by children. He is a lot of fun to watch zooming around his setup. He may be small but he certainly uses all the space!
Minimum housing requirements: Borlotti is currently housed in a 100x50cm setup so will need to be rehomed to this size enclosure as a minimum. He will also need a multichamber hide, 20cm wheel, large sand area and plenty of deep substrate for burrowing in.Apply to Adopt!

- Heather
Name: Heather
Species: Syrian Hamster
Sex: Female
Age: Born approx 21/11/22
Status: Available for Adoption
Adoption fee: Minimum £15 donationHeather arrived in our care at 4 weeks of age along with 4 other babies after their mother had been unknowingly purchased pregnant. She is a nervous hamster who isn’t keen on being handled, but is an absolutely lovely girl who is no trouble at all to care for. She is looking for a calm, patient, adult-only home who understands that while she may gain confidence with people over time, she may always be a look-don’t-touch hammy.
Minimum housing requirement: 100x50cm floor space, plenty of safe substrate, enrichment and a 28cm wheel.
