My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jimmy is a sweet older male hamster looking for a retirement home to enjoy his golden year! He is tolerant to handling, although not the biggest fan, and does have a good history around kids. He enjoys receiving various forms of chewing enrichment in his cage, and having space to explore.

Hamsters are nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night and can nip if woken during the day. Hamsters must be kept alone and tend to have poor eyesight so they should not be allowed near any ledges.

We recommend a 10 gallon or larger tank filled with about 6” of paper bedding or other nesting material. Nesting material should be loose, light, easy to manipulate, and of course safe. Enclosures should be well ventilated but kept out of direct drafts, and should provide plenty of enclosed opaque shelters for the hamster to retreat into as desired. Enclosures should provide lots of enrichment for the hamster to meet their natural needs in the areas of chewing/gnawing, physical movement, resting/hiding, and nesting material or food to forage. A properly sized wheel or disc is a necessity for the hamster to meet their exercise needs.

The needs of each hamster are unique and if you have questions about the right type of enclosure for the hamster you are interested in, please visit us and talk with our volunteers/staff! We are happy to provide guidance and advice.
