When Pacho came to HSS, she was a shy and skinny hamster. Since then, she has been successfully chonk-ified by her fosterer and now looks like a cute chonky ball! Her favourite foods are pine nuts, fatpouches porridge, and sprays!

Pacho came from a hoarding situation where she was kept with several other hamsters, so she unfortunately suffered a few injuries to her ears. Her ears don't cause her any discomfort, but they do make her look a bit like a pirate sometimes.

Pacho was incredibly shy at first but will now comfortably climb into an open hand, especially if there's a pine nut on it. She will sit in your open palm, patiently waiting for treats. She also associates human hands with free-roaming! Pacho loves to free roam so she'll be a very happy hamster if her adopter can let her out a couple times a week.

Pacho loves exploring and foraging, and is inquisitive and curious. She's comfortable around humans and sometimes will even come out when she hears her name! She enjoys snuggles and pets and is well-matched with someone who has the time for lots of interaction! This sweet girl will thrive under the care of someone who can give her lots of cuddles (and pine nuts)!

Feel free to contact Pacho’s fosterer on Instagram @mellyyland for more information or if you have any questions!
