Buddy Hamster Dwarf Hamster Boyertown, PA

Buddy is a male Roborovski dwarf hamster and like all Roborovski hamsters he is very fast, so a little tricky to handle. He is around 8 months old and was surrendered because the child he belonged to lost interest in him. I doubt Buddy was handled very much and seems a little scared when you go to pick him up. Although we handled him a lot for photos and while it wasn't to easiest photo session (he is fast), he never nipped us once. Roborovski hamsters do not make good pets for children, he would be better off as a pet for an adult. Buddy is able to get adopted along with a compete cage set up including a 110 qrt bin style cage, Niteangel wheel, nest house, food bowl, water bottle and sand bath for an extra donation to the rescue.

Hamsters are solitary animals and should be housed by themselves. They are also crepuscular meaning they prefer to come out during dusk and dawn and often overnight. Buddy is located in Macungie, PA.

Hamsters can make cute and fun little pets, but as any pets do, they require some special care. If you are interested in adopting, please check out the links below before submitting an application to make sure you are informed about the care they need. Buddy's adoption fee is $15. Please contact us with any questions!

We recommend bin style cages for dwarf hamsters -

https://www.target.com/p/sterilite-110qt-clear-view-storage-bin-with-latch-purple/-/A-13794501. To make either of these storage bins into cages you would need to cut a hole in the lid and fix wire mesh in the lid to allow for ventilation. There are many YouTube videos to watch to show how to make these cages such as;
