Margarita came into our care from a large ‘accidental’ breeding case, along with 9 other hamsters.
Having had at least 1 litter of babies, Margarita is now enjoying her own space and getting to be a proper hamster!
She is a fairly chilled lady and ok with calm handling, but like most dwarfs can be fast at times. She absolutely loves being snuggled up and will seek out a fleece blanket in her playpen to cuddle up in, or loves to chill in the crook of your arm if you’re wearing a cosy jumper!
Margarita loves her wheel and burrowing in deep substrate. She is active at night and sometimes in early morning.
Minimum housing requirements:
100x50cm minimum enclosure size, with at least 6 inches of suitable substrate for burrowing, a minimum 20cm diameter wheel, large sand bath, multichamber hide and lots of enrichment.
Adoption fee: Minimum donation of £30
