Just to reitterate a point above before you go buying at the pet store for any animal cat dog bunny hamster mouse even horse goat or donkey check your local shelter. Shelters have a wide variety of animals in theri care many at foster homes so check there first.

Hi lil Lucy 3.0!!

I hope you have a fabulously long and happy life!!

Hams are cool. I would love to have one as a pet.

my guinea pig brothers were adopted from my local humane society! Call your local shelters first – before you “buy!”

Awwwwwwwwwww.

Sooooo teeeny.

re: Ham Adoption Center

Often there are abandoned hams at your local shelter, or on CraigsList. I got my last hamster from a shelter and while at first a little standoffish from early neglect he was just as active and climby as any other ham. He lived 2 years with me.

Now I have a bunny (also adopted from a shelter)

Aw, she’s so tiny. She look so timid. can’t wait to see her runnin’ around.

Welcome, Lucy 3.0! So happy to have the next generation ready to run and make us smile!

Am I the only one who went green with envy at the phrase “his local ham adoption center”? I doubt we even have a regional ham adoption centre. Is this a common thing in the Netherlands? If so, I am going to live there right now.

A pauw is a peacock, not a paw It’s a cute little hamster though!
