Meet the Seven Dwarfs!

July 9th, 2009 · View Comments

This week we are featuring these amazing minuscule dwarf hamsters, ranging from 2 weeks old–to 5 weeks old–to full-grown adults. They find themselves at the shelter due to a prior owner who allowed his pets to breed, then abandoned them when he moved out of his apartment.

These tiny sweeties will become solo pets, adopted out as individuals. They don’t take up a lot of space and will grow to be just about the size of a golf ball. Dwarf hamsters make nice apartment pets for working people who can’t quite take on a dog, but want some ‘fuzz therapy’ after a hard day. Their needs include a cage with a hammie-safe running wheel (no metal bars to trap feet!), soft bedding and daily gentle handling from their humans. Hamsters are nocturnal and have a high-activity period in the evening.

Come down to the shelter and visit these little cuties today! Check out the shelter’s website at www.seattleanimalshelter.org to see these and other pets available for adoption.

Awww! Hamsters are very easy to care for (though, as noted above, not for very light sleepers). My cat would torment them, though.
Good luck, little ones!

We got one (named Peanut). Thanks for posting this. I used to be on the shelter critter team (small animals). Most of it is volunteer supported (and that includes buying supplies as well as cleaning out the cages and feeding them).
