Chewie is a shy boy that hides most of the day, rarely coming out. He only comes out of his man-cave once a day for food and water and then he will tiptoe back into his hideout. If you miss that food and water moment, you might think that you’re just looking at his furry butt peeking out of the hideout for days (Or you might just hear him running the wheel at 4am).

He’s a very simple and low maintenance companion, some may say he’s quite the boring guy! Despite this, Chewie respects humans and knows that he’s safe in our hands. He will need an owner that will supervise him when being handled by anyone else, especially children, so that he does not get squeezed, dropped, or screamed at.

When drinking water or munching food, he will be fully focused and won’t move while being petted (his fosterer loves grooming his fur when he’s snacking). He relaxes when being picked up and is ok with play times & fur combing using a soft bristle toothbrush. Sometimes, he will give you a nibble when he’s telling you that he wants to go back home (Aww!).

Chewie is a no fuss hamster that just needs a loving home that can care for him and love him for the rest of his days and be by his side–for better or worse, in sickness and health.
