Meet Gerkin
Gerkin is a tiny, young dwarf hamster who was born in care with her brother Pickle. Gerkin is learning to be hand tame and even though she is still young, Gerkin can take care of herself.
Two of Gerkin’s favourite things are her wheel and the sand bath. It is important that a Hamster has lots of area to burrow and dig their tunnels, and a proper diet of a hamster type biscuit and the odd treat of a piece of fruit or veggie.
Seeds and nuts in small amounts can be great for foraging and enrichment, but they are high in fat and not very nutrient dense and will make a hamster fat and unwell.
Applications can be submitted and approved prior to coming in, but all hamster adopters are required to send in a photo of enclosure they will be housed in before they go home.
