Bong was found abandoned on the roadside. Despite his unfortunate situation, he is a sweet and gentle boy who appreciates the small things in life.

One thing you will love about him is that he is 100% comfortable with eating on his back on your palm! This is a great chance to interact and watch him nom away on his treat. However, give treats in moderation even though it is hard to resist since he looks so cute eating.

He is not shy to approach your hand but he might give you a chomp thinking you’re food. If this happens, giving him a treat at this point will help to ease him into being carried out. Do not poke/touch him when he is sleeping as it might give him a scare, he will scream!

Bong loves to sleep in the open so you might spot him sleeping in weird positions around the cage. Due to his age, his fosterer recommends that his set up does not have high platforms where he can fall from, as he is quite a clumsy boy.

If you are looking for a hamster that is easily satisfied with doing his own thing and doesn’t mind hand interaction, Bong is the one for you!
