Strong Brew Hamstery

Strong Brew is a hamstery devoted to producing quality hamsters in health, size and temperament. As such, we pick our hamsters carefully.

We are located in the GTA, however our hamsters are all over Ontario and some of the USA. Strong Brew Hamstery aims to produce healthy, well-tempered hamsters. Hamsters with good health, composition, and personality are chosen to be bred. Hamsters that do not meet our strict standard are kept here as pets or are sold as pets only, and should not be bred. We sometimes use new blood to increase the

quality of our pups and may not have a full lineage on some litters. Strong Brew Hamstery’s overarching goal is to produce healthy, well-tempered hamsters in an assortment of colours that adhere to NHC and CHA standards. We follow the IHANA and OHC Codes of Ethics set forth, and will be showing this year. One half of the SBH team is the President of the Ontario Hamster Club, and is working on becoming a certified judge. We have relationships with other breeders all over the world. Strong Brew Hamstery hamsters are first and foremost beloved pets and are treated with respect, love, kindness and as friends. Any pup bred in this hamstery is welcome back should their owner not be able to care for the pup. Adoptees are encouraged to stay in contact with Strong Brew Hamstery through our email, page, or website. We are happy to answer any questions about our hamsters, and aid owners to the best of our ability. For more information on adopting head to our website: strongbrew.ca/adoption

Congrats to and , new parents to our next litter, ! They were born on September 7th and are doing amazing! Tarragone is being an excellent momma and so good with her little beans. They're a fun little brood.

These bubs will be named after some of our favourite Pebble toddlerspeaks. It has been a little bit since we had hamster pups downstairs for Pebble so she will be really excited to see them again! Pebble loves her atters very much 💗.

I'll be getting to emails and new applications as soon as possible!

is growing up into such a beautiful hamster! Isn't she just stunning?

I know I've been slow to update things, and talk to people. But I want to know how all you splendid people are! Tell me about something awesome going on in your life. Or, tell me about something challenging. I'd love to hear how you are doing and chat with all you epic people. 💗

Big surprise, we are sick again. Pebble loves to share germs. So here is aka Zoi (which I pronounce wrongly as Zoey because creative liberty I guess). He is a brick and so fun.

Update things;

Dr. Mr. Scissors Esq is doing well, just old. Hubert is the same. They both get spoiled and loved on. Espresso, Yeet and Zoi remain in home as the stud muffins.

Ribbon and Splat both went off to retirement homes. Super happy for them both, they're both being spoiled to bits. Zoi inherited his momma's log and loves racing up to the top to beg for love. He is just as gregarious as his mum but less spicy.

Klarä and Tarragone are both going on fancy dates with eligible bachelors. Tarra seems pregananté but Klarä is a stubborn lady, she is very fancy after all and from overseas so not just any Canadian hamster will steal her heart. 🙃

Cardi-T is causing chaos and lives underground 99% of the time. Thresher is super friendly and happy all the time. Tractor pretends to be homeless and refuses to sleep anywhere but in a lump in her enclosure. She does however do fastidious housecleaning, and only stores her poops in one hide.

Skibidi and Sol are just tiny babies living life and being nutterbutters.

Basically everything is great, I'm just slow with emails and updates, but breeding is still happening just albeit at a slow rate because despite at least 5 breeding attempts Klarä has thus far refused advances. Going to bring in the big guns soon if needed lol, and some offsite males. Sometimes I've found it is just a matter of finding the right pairing. Hamsters man 🤷‍♀️

Hope everyone is well. One day I'll be more active with social media I suppose.

Just me and the best dapper gentleham Dr. Mr. Esq 🥰💗 he is 28mo and a bit old now and while he's slower, his eyes are gunky (he gets drops 2x a day) and he has some wrinkles and fur loss, he is still the very best of best boys.

He sends you all a kiss and hopes you're doing amazing.

It's hard to believe the and are now 6wks old and ready to head home. Here is , who left yesterday and is now named Lootie Patootie, enjoying some sunflower seeds. There's just something extra fun and special about hammy toes. What a life!

Hi, we're here. Dr. Mr. Esq is coming up on 28 months old now and slowly showing his age 😥. His one eye is a bit sticky and gunky so he's been getting eye drops (as seen in this pic). Thank goodness for the epic snacks from for being such an excellent good boy.

Things are slow here, but I am truly trying my best. I'm going through a stressful and time consuming job transition, which is the main bulk of it. Pebble is also going through some major mummy-centric separation anxiety, so if she's awake she likes to be glued by my side. We try to keep her world screenfree, and while she is an incredibly good helper, she is just not very good at typing yet. She helps in other ways, like kissing all her "atters" and trying to feed them their water bottles as if they were babies.

I'm mostly just tired, and I also don't love making reels. I've never been a big video person so the idea of having to take video content and then edit and post it is lacklustre. I miss posting my photos alone, but they receive little traction. It's disappointing and makes me not prioritize updating socials.

I have been working on updating the website though and you should see most of our latest hamsters and what not. There's always lots to do and never enough time but I promise I'm trying. As a reminder, SBH is very much a hobby and not my primary source of income, so when I have to drop balls things like emails, applications and social media are those rubber balls I know I can temporarily drop. But I will always get back to people. Just... Slowly. I'm sorry for that.

08/04/2025

I've been rather slow lately, a mix of work keeping me busy, Pebble being prime chaos toddler and just the general busy pace of life.

I'm slowly working through things and we will have all our info out to adopters shortly. Then I'm working on cleaning up the website some and getting things up to date.

In the meantime, here is being extra cute!

It's time for her spicy highness to find a new family! , aka Splat, can't wait to find her retirement home. She is a long hair yellow female born June 30, 2024. She has a TON of personality in an, honestly, pretty chonky hamster body 🤭 and really does require a home that has experience with hamsters and can follow her signals and body language.

Splat is friendly as all get out. She LOVES humans and snacks (hence why she's 260g right now lol) and the instant there is noise in the hamster room she shoots out like a rocket looking for attention. However, she is a very "my way or the highway" kinda hamster and that means if things aren't to her liking, she let's you know. She's not the hamster you set your hand down in the bedding and wait for her to hop on (I mean you could try but she's that hamster who I never quite trust to play nicely lol) but you can scoop her up if she consents to lovings and handle her very easily. She will advertise her intentions clearly, and while she's only bitten twice (once when she was just freshly split from her pups and the other time when Miss Pebble acted unpredictably) she likely would if she wasn't feeling it. Like I said, she tells you exactly what she is intending to do, so you just gotta listen.

That being said, Splat is THE FUNNIEST hamster I have had in a while. She runs out and climbs her cork log to say hello (I recommend a nice tube, I can send a pic of her favourite one lol) and she just gets herself into the silliest pickles. She has the softest, bestest coat ever and she's been a awesome momma not once but twice.

If she sounds like a great addition to your home please let me know. She's honestly quite enclosure content but due to her chonkbutt she will need a big space and a 12" wheel for sure and honestly a smidgen of a diet once she weans her sons lol. I'll be sad for her to go because she is honestly hilarious, but I know it's time for her to entertain other people. 💗

PS thank you all so much for the birthday wishes. 🥰🥰🥰 It was a great day.

07/24/2025

Today is my birthday so the hamsters are celebrating with cookies! Dr. Mr. Esq was the best boy ever of course. wasn't sure what was going on. was in it for the cookies. Truck wanted to take the snacks home.

We are enjoying the day and just having lots of fun. We are all home from work or school to party it up.

Annnnnd I got to some emails yesterday! I'm hoping to send out emails about the current pups we have in the next few days. 🥰

07/23/2025

was a most excellent hambassador today on our outreach visit to ! We visited their camp kids to talk all about hamsters and hamster care.

While he's not Dr. Mr. Scissors Esq (who accompanied me last year) he sure made his grandad proud. 🥹 Scissors leaves big paws to fill in terms of being the bestest best boy and all around greatest hamster to introduce newbies to, and Yeet worked hard today to fill them. He received many gentle pets and helped the kids learn about what hamsters need to thrive in our care.

So proud of him, he deserves all the best cookies!

Thanks for having us again KW Humane Society! 💗

07/20/2025

Yesterday got away from us so I didn't get to introduce the second pup and the ONLY female in both litters lol.

is a black eyed cream masking some flavour of tort (since papa is yellow) and she's very sweet and cute. She will be staying here!

Thanks for all your patience. Pebz is feeling better and been causing lots of chaos now. 🙃🤣

07/19/2025

Now for Espresso and Ribbon's 🤭. Alas we had a lot of losses with Ribbon but she did her best and we do have two perfect little beans!

First up is Nyx, a beautiful heterozygous silver grey umbrous male. Silver grey isn't really a colour I'm familiar with but it is very pretty!
