Meet Joseph, the proud father of 4 hamster babies, rescued on Christmas Day. He was found cramped together with his new brood of in a tiny cage (smaller than the size of a medium sized carrier), cramped with his partner and children. There was no wheel and the bedding, while deep, was wet due to a leaky bottle. From the moment he was rescued, Joseph was quickly separated to avoid repeated and immediate impregnation of his partner (dwarf hamsters can get pregnant immediately after giving birth).

We are pleased to say that the moment Joseph was transferred to a bigger cage with all he desired, he started to show his true self - curious, calm and super sweet. We soon realised that Joseph loved his wheel so much, he has made it his bed! We’ve placed him under observation for a few weeks, and are pleased to report that Papa Joseph is now ready for adoption! Because of his chill nature, he is suitable for adopters looking for more interaction and bonding time.
