Luca was rescued in the beginning of December with many other hamsters. They were all in really bad shape but thankfully, he was a healthy boy.

In the beginning, Luca was very timid and would often bite anything that entered his cage. But he has come a long way. Since then, he has become the tamest and curious boy ever! He now enjoys spending his days sleeping the morning away and coming out in the late afternoon to run on his wheel, munching on sprays and asking for attention when he sees people around.

Luca loves being treated like the baby that he is and will gladly climb onto your hand to be syringe fed with fatpouches mash food (his favourite). He is also one of the few hamsters that responds to his name when called (you can check out the highlight link for proof!). Luca loves burrowing into bedding to sleep so deep bedding is required for him.

Luca is looking for someone that will be able to interact with him in the late afternoons and spoil him with a variety of sprays and deep bedding for him to forage and be stimulated during his waking hours.
