Hamsters For Adoption

Tucson AZ

Description

Hamsters are some of our most misunderstood rescues. The cages they are kept in is something to consider! In the wild they burrow and forage for food so those colorful plastic petstore cages are too small and force them to suppress natural behaviors. Also, many items sold in petstores marketed for a hamster are NOT safe like cedar and pine bedding, cotton nesting material, bathing dust, mineral chews, hay based diets like oxbow brand hamster food, wire or mesh wheels, and the rodent harness with leash attached. Wheels need to be appropriately sized so the hamster can run with a straight back and needs to have a solid running surface to avoid bumble foot or mangled limbs. In the wild hamsters run 5 miles or more at night. Wheels satisfy this need to run and should not be removed or excluded from the habitat. Free hamstercare guidance and cage setup assistance is available! Visit Home Sweet Hammy Home on our social media or website. Our available hamsters, pet mice and Guniea pigs are listed on our Adopt-A-Pet and Petfinder accounts.
