To all Happy Hamsters UK supporters, adopters, volunteers and donators, we have an announcement.

The past 5 years have been an incredible experience, and we have loved running this rescue with passion, dedication and unwavering values.

We'd like to let you all know that Happy Hamsters UK will be closing its doors once all remaining foster hamsters have been adopted.

We'd like to thank you all for supporting us over the years and allowing us to do what we love. As we move on to other ventures, we hope that this community can continue to drive pet shops to do better.

HHUK will remain a place to come to for advice, guidance and to be pointed in the right direction for rescues, vets and ethical suppliers.

Please do reach out if you'd like to adopt any of our four remaining foster hamsters, who are in London, Kettering and Chester-le-Street. Exceptional care standards still apply!

🐰 Calling bunny lovers 🐰

Woodgreen Pets Charity are looking to find forever homes for these beauties.

Spending time at The National Rabbit Festival on Saturday in Nottingham reminded us of so many things with rabbit ownership :

Rabbits are adorable, intelligent, and full of personality – but they’re also a big commitment.

✨ A rabbit can live 8–12 years (sometimes longer). That’s the same responsibility as caring for a cat or dog.

✨ They need space to run, dig, and explore – not just a hutch in the garden.

✨ Rabbits are social animals and thrive with company (another rabbit or lots of interaction).

✨ They need the right diet – mainly hay, fresh greens, and limited pellets – to stay healthy.

✨ Regular vet care, vaccinations, and neutering are essential.

Sadly, many rabbits end up in rescues because people don’t realise how much care they need. 💔

👉 Before bringing a bunny home, take time to learn what’s involved and make sure you can commit to giving them the safe, happy life they deserve.

National Rabbit Festival today for us!

🌞 Another hot weather tip for Guinea Pigs & Tortoises 🐹🐢

Soak cucumber and romaine lettuce in cold water before feeding for a quick, hydrating, and cooling treat! 🥒💦

Great for keeping your pets refreshed and helping them stay cool during hot weather. Don’t forget to remove uneaten food and always provide fresh water.

🌞🐹 Cool Tip for Hot Weather! 🐹🌞

Guinea pigs can really struggle in the heat, but ceramic or marble tiles can help keep them cool! Tiles stay naturally cold and give your piggies a comfy spot to chill out.

💡 Try placing a tile in the shade or pop one in the fridge for extra coolness. Always let them choose whether to sit on it.

A simple, affordable way to help your piggies beat the heat! 🧊❤️

Here is Harley, one of our resident piggies who has been sitting on the tile today, now camera shy!
