A tiny energizer bunny with a curious mind, Cassia is a sweet little thing. She once used to live with her sister who had been adopted out. Despite being the smaller of the two, Cassia was always the one leading the charge when the duo comes out at night to explore their surroundings in search of more food. Some say she is a natural leader, but others argue that she is just extra kaypoh.
Brave little Cassia is tame & when given some time to open up to you, she will not only be your cuddle buddy but lets you give her some head rubs. Tiny but mighty runner by night, she enjoys running the wheel like she would run a marathon!
She is waiting for her furever home that could offer her all the treats she deserve & lots of cuddles if you have any spare time for her
Things to note when adopting Roborovskis:
1. Adopters should make sure to get a glass tank/acrylic cage that does not have bars as Roborovski hamsters are smaller and can squeeze through the gaps.
2. 1/3 of the cage should be covered with sand as Roborovski hamsters tend to become excessively ‘greasy’ when an appropriately sized sand area is not given.
3. A wheel that is minimally 21cm should still be provided even if they are smaller in size as compared to dwarf hamsters.
4. They are fast and may not be suitable for children. Some may also nip/bite.
5. Taming is not guaranteed, but possible with lots of patience, time and love!
