Family and environment
What kind of family am I looking for?
Some hamsters can make a lovely first pet for children who are able to offer a calm, patient and confident approach. Hamsters can get spooked easily, so that natural understanding of animal behaviour is needed for these critters. They can enjoy coming out to be handled and will take treats from your hands. Hamsters are nocturnal so will sleep more in the day and be active at night, they may not always appreciate being woken up so may not suit a family who are keen to have lots of interaction.
What type of environment would suit me?
Syrian hamsters like to burrow and travel large distances so need the biggest cage you can budget for. The minimum size is 100cm wide by 50cm deep by 50 cm – This can be achieved in a tank style set up, or a cage with maximum bar spacing of 1cm.
About Mistletoe
Mistletoe is a lovely little lady looking for a quiet home to call her own.
She is a very active and busy girl who loves to have lots going on to keep her busy. Burrowing, foraging for food and spending time on her wheel are just some of her favourite things to do. A tasty mealworm will definitely help her to make friends with you as well as sitting quietly and letting her come over to you in her own time. Mistletoe is good at being handled for short periods of time and will let you know when she has had enough. This is definitely something she will need to build confidence with when with her new owner so she is looking for someone with time and patience to help her along the way.
