UPDATES

A few more slots for the Christmas Adoption Program. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1S5ma31uDNuZisuEmu3J_qodYuDvalTiHWmCKLPdWYao/edit?usp=sharing

⭐️Victoria Trip - if you're on Vancouver Island and want to adopt from us this Christmas - We're coming over on 20 or 21st for a day trip (so we'll be in Victoria)

⭐️ There are regular applications I need to get back to. If you are on the regular list and want to switch to the Christmas Adoption Program (CAP - You are matched with a hamster, slightly higher adoption fee, no wait time) there is space. Please note - we do NOT support random Christmas Adoptions, all adoptions go through a thorough application/selection process. The CAP is separate from the regular adoptions because adopters are matched with hamsters and if accepted to the program are guaranteed a baby hamster for Dec 25. If you are on the regular waitlist (aka the application form didn't mention Christmas) you can switch to the Christmas given that we have the number of pups available.
CAP application link: https://forms.gle/qGxNtFFjxSMkXjEe6

⭐️ I will be semi-offline for the next few days till Dec 18th and after to sort out everything with emails, adoptions, and Christmas Adoptions. I will respond to urgent questions/anything pertaining to CAP as soon as I possibly can.

⭐️ LARGE BIN CAGE at Walmart - ONLY $38 + tax, such a great deal. Adding mesh to the lid is a must for proper ventilation. It will provide 800 square inches if you can supply 10-12 inches of bedding in the cage.

Welcome our first litter of blue hamsters !!!! 💙

Another first for the hamstery, I’m feeling incredibly grateful to work with the dilute gene. Mama Bluey did such a good job raising the litter, these babies are sweet and well tempered!!

Majority of the summer pups (21!!!) have gone to their new homes, there are a few more that need to get picked up and there are 2 that are flying out to Edmonton to meet their new families.

General update
I’m expecting quite a few litters this fall - mid/end December times. Some litters will be timed to go home around December 22-24. These litters will have rex, rust, yellow, tortoiseshells of different colors, chocolate, extreme dilute, long hair and short hair! So it’s great time to apply! We No pups will be sold as an immediate gift purchase. As of the moment there will always be a waitlist!

It is also currently midterm season for the next 1.5 months which means things get a bit chaotic here. Please know I will get back to all messages, emails and applications as soon as I can.

I have a group of window wiper hamsters 🤣🤣😃😂 anyone want to hire them ? 😆

09/17/2024

My chonky girls 😍 they are at a nice healthy weight (220g + ) but not obese! I don’t feed any junk food (some people do to get hamsters to gain weight) but that’s very unhealthy for them

Sweet babies 💕💕🐹 I love my keeper hamsters from the recent litters - these are my keeper girls

Applications open! We have a really short wait time - it is baby boom season and we are going to have lots of pups around Christmas time. Could be early or mid December. All homes are vetted and hamsters are not gifts without planning and knowledge. Application required for everyone.

Shipping also available across Canada! Very safe and reliable via pet cargo airlines. Shipping sharing for Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, Ottawa, Saskatchewan and Edmonton/Alberta is available

Morning all! Hope your Mondays are starting off well 💕 I can feel the presssure of school work and midterms 🙈 but when I come home and see the hamsters it makes me so happy!!

Tomorrow I have a 4 hour virology lab for the first time, super excited but also a bit nervous

Waitlist Status - short right now, joining now would be a good to get pups for November/Christmas. Lots of litters on the way. 2 are confirmed. Should have another 2-4 litters from Oct -Jan

❤️ SUGAR COOKIE - I kept her as a breeding hammy for 10 months (she had no litters) but then decided to adopt her out to a good friend on the island. She's currently being spoiled and demands attention and snacks from her owners.

School has started, starting to feel the pressure 🙃

Happy Sunday! Enjoy these photos of Gizmo and PomPom 🥰🤩

Last night I did a photoshoot with the babies which only lasted 30 minutes as the camera battery died 😭 but we got super adorable photos of Gizmo (golden long hair rex male) and pompom (cream banded long hair male). Still have to photograph the rest of the pups tonight. Photo shoots are tiring but really rewarding when I see the results.

I upgrades my camera to a canon 5D and the autofocus photos are amazing! 🤩
