Today is International Dog Biscuit Day! 🐶

You may be wondering why a hamster based account is celebrating Dog Biscuit Day but did you know that Whimzee dog treats make great hamster chews?

Hamsters' teeth grow continuously, so they need safe chews to keep them healthy. Whimzees are a great choice - they have a hard texture that most hamsters love! They come in various shapes, sizes, and colors and are made from safe, natural ingredients, making them the perfect chew for your furry friend. 🐹

💖🐹💖 ADOPTIONS! 💖🐹💖

We have over 12 hamsters within our rescue network who are all looking for forever homes. Although we have rehomed several hamsters so far this year, we still urgently need to find loving new homes for these little ones in order to rescue other hamsters who really need our help.

We have a variety of species available to adopt, all with their own unique personalities. Some would make fantastic hamsters for those new to hamster keeping, whereas others would benefit from a more experienced owner. All are so deserving of their own special someone who will love and care for them.

Please get in touch with us if you’re interested in adopting a rescue hamster. Our adoption process is thorough but really very simple.

💚 1. Register your interest by filling out a quick form on our website. You’ll then be sent an email with the next steps.

💙 2. Set up an enclosure for your new hamster using our Adoption Checklist. We have lots of information on our website about ethical hamster care, and our shopping guide will help you find the right products to use. https://hamsterinfoireland.ie/education/ We are more than happy to provide guidance throughout the setup if you need some extra help!

💜 3. Once the enclosure is ready, complete our Adoption Questionnaire.

🧡 4. Our experienced team will review your application, and if all is in order, will schedule a quick video call with you to perform a final enclosure check, discuss any questions you may have, and arrange transport to bring your new friend home!

VOLUNTEERS WANTED 🙋‍♀️🙋🙋‍♂️
Hamster Info Ireland is looking for passionate volunteers to join our team and help us rescue and rehome hamsters in need!

There are so many ways you can make a difference:

💚 Foster: Open your heart and home to a rescued hamster! Fostering helps give these little ones a safe and loving environment while they wait for their forever homes. We recently held a successful foster training session but we are still expanding our network. Could you be the next fosterer to join our team? Apply here: https://hamsterinfoireland.ie/foster-application-pack/

💙 Transport Volunteer: Sometimes hamsters need a lift from one place to another, whether moving within our rescue network or being brought to their forever homes! If you commute between major towns, regularly travel across counties to visit family or friends, or simply have some spare time on your hands we'd love to hear from you! We're looking for transporters across all parts of the country, so as long as you don't mind the odd small fluffy passenger hitching a lift, why not apply: https://hamsterinfoireland.ie/transport/
Travel expenses such as miles, tolls, and fares can be reimbursed.

💜 Donations: As a registered charity, we rely on your generous donations to fund our rescue efforts. Every little bit counts, and for as little as €3 per month through Patreon, you can help cover the costs of food, bedding, medical care, and more! Sign up here! https://www.patreon.com/c/HamsterInfoIreland/posts
One-off donations can be made through our website, or why not buy our rescue hamsters a surprise treat from our Amazon wishlist: https://hamsterinfoireland.ie/donate/

If you want to make a positive impact and help these adorable creatures get a fresh start, reach out to us today! Let’s work together to rescue even more hamsters and give them a better life. 🐹💜🐹💙🐹💚🐹

Our 5th adoption this year is Raphael! 😍

'Raphy', came to the rescue almost a full year ago as part of an accidental litter.

Male Syrian hamsters are arguably the most popular of all our rescue hamsters and generally don't spend too long in our foster care. Sadly for Raphy and his brothers, this wasn't the case and somehow they have missed out on finding their forever homes time and time again - despite being ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE with the most lovely personalities and named after the coolest ninja turtles!! 🐢

Raphael is lucky enough to now have a new family to care for him. Thank you very much to his adopters for choosing a rescue hamster and giving this little one a place to call home. 💖

If you'd like to offer a home to Raphael's brothers - Mikey, Donnie or Leo - or indeed any of our lovely rescue hamsters - please check out our website and register your interest! https://hamsterinfoireland.ie/available-for-adoption/

We've some lovely news to brighten your Tuesday morning! 💛🐹💛

Sweetpea, one of the girls from our newest intake of Roborovski babies, has found herself a wonderful forever home. She will be 8 weeks old this Friday so is going to have the perfect start in life. We're so happy this little one was lucky enough to be offered a home so soon. Tiny Robos are sadly often overlooked in rescue but they are fascinating to watch and have such lovely characters. 💖

Thank you to Sweetpea's adopters for choosing to adopt, not shop. Not only have they opened their hearts to a rescue hamster, but they've also freed a space in our rescue network for our next intake! 🐹

Sweetpea's brothers and sisters are still awaiting their special someone. If you think you could give one of these adorable hammies a loving home please register your interest on our website: https://hamsterinfoireland.ie/adoption-application-pack/

We’re so happy to announce that our adorable dwarf hamster 'Dill' has found his forever home! 🐹🏠

His new owner, a first-time adopter, spent the last number of weeks researching proper hamster care and made sure Dill's new enclosure setup was safe and hamster-friendly. We truly appreciate the time and effort that went into setting up such a great home for him.

Wishing Dill and his new family the very best on their new adventure together! 💚💙💜

We're so happy to announce that our Syrian boy Stephen has officially been adopted! 🥰🐹🥰

Stephen came to us after we were contacted on Stephen's day (hence the name!) by somebody whose relative had been sold two Syrian hamsters together in one enclosure. Syrians are strictly solitary and should never be housed together past 8 weeks of age. However this particular seller persuaded her to get two because "they were siblings" and convinced her they would get along just fine. This is one of the problems with backyard breeders and some pet shops - they're only in it for the money, with no regard for animal welfare. Inevitably, the two hamsters began to fight and sadly poor Stephen came out the worse for it. Thankfully his owners reached out to us for help and we were able to take Stephen into our rescue network.

Stephen is a very shy hamster, and we have to admit we thought it would be quite a while before anyone would step up to adopt him. We wanted to find a calm, quiet, adult-only home for Stephen and luckily one came forward. Thank you very much to Stephen's adopter for choosing a rescue hamster. We wish you all the best! Stephen has been told the good news and will soon be packing his bags, ready to go home. 🥰

🐹 February is International Responsible Pet Ownership Month! 🐹

Being a responsible hamster keeper means ensuring your tiny companion has everything they need to thrive! This includes following the five freedoms of animal care.

💜 1. Freedom from hunger and thirst.
Make sure you're feeding your hamster an appropriate amount of food that is suitable for their species. Always provide fresh water for your hamster and be sure to clean bowls and bottles regularly.

💙 2. Freedom from discomfort.
Hamsters thrive in large enclosures with safe accessories, deep substrate, lots of hides and plenty of opportunities to forage and explore. Avoid unsuitable products such as tiny enclosures, wire wheels, dusty substrates and exercise balls.

💚 3. Freedom from Pain, Injury, or Disease
Regularly check your hamster for signs of illness or injury. Weighing your hamster is a good way to monitor its overall condition. If your hamster is unwell don't go straight to social media looking for answers. Sick animals need to see a vet. Please have a vet fund, a travel pod, and the contact information of an experienced exotic vet ready for if and when your hamster may need it.

💛 4. Freedom to Express Normal Behavior
Hamsters are natural burrowers and foragers! Make sure your hamster has plenty of deep bedding to create burrow systems. Including sprays in the enclosure and scattering their seed mix allows a hamster to express natural foraging behaviour.

🧡 5. Freedom from Fear and Distress
Hamsters are prey animals that can easily become stressed. Hamsters are solitary and should never be kept in pairs or groups. Keep them in a quiet, safe environment, away from other pets like cats and dogs. When playing, use a soft voice and gentle movements so your hamster doesn't feel threatened. It's important not to force a hamster to interact if it is scared.

By meeting these needs, you ensure your hamster has a happy life! Share this post to spread awareness and encourage responsible pet care. 🐹🩷
