If you’re a hamster parent in Ireland or the UK, you might be surprised to learn that many popular hamster cages on the market are, well, just too small. Despite their cute appearance and appealing features, these cages are often totally unsuitable for our little furry friends. Let’s look at som...
🐹 SPECIAL APPEAL - HAMISH 🐹
New to hamster keeping and don’t know where to begin? Our lovely new intake Hamish has excellent potential as a first hamster, and he also comes with his enclosure (Zoozone 2). A potential adopter would only need to provide food, forage, and some new accessories, which we can discuss on application.
Unlike some of the cases we see at HII, Hamish has been very well loved, and his rehoming is not due to any lack of care. His owner has sadly had a very sudden change in living circumstances that has forced this sad parting on them.
Fancy adopting? Apply now!

It’s with heavy hearts that we share the news of Pringles’ passing.
Pringles has been in foster care with us since 29th May 2023 and today crossed over the rainbow bridge having never found a home to call his own.
A few weeks ago, we noticed swelling around his eye and scans confirmed a growth in his head. Despite vet treatment and all our love, his health declined rapidly over the past few days. Today, we had to make the heartbreaking decision to say goodbye.
Even though he never found his forever home, he knew nothing but love and care in his foster home.
This is a sad reminder that some hamsters never find their happily ever after.
Thank you to for making today easy on our fosterer Steph, it’s always a hard day when a rescue loses one of our animals.
Run free, little Pringles. You’ll be dearly missed.
Your Donations Make a Difference for Rescue Hamsters
At Hamster Info Ireland, we are committed to providing loving homes for all the hamsters that come into our care. Donations are essential to our ability to provide the high quality of care that our rescue hamsters deserve.
This month, we have 7 Syrian babies that now all need separate enclosures and that comes at a cost! The items in this photo come to just under €150 but only checks a few things off the foster enclosure checklist.
Here are just a few of the ways your donations help us care for our hamsters:
•Food and Bedding: We provide our hamsters with a nutritious diet and a comfortable place to sleep. While these items are generally not very expensive, when caring for as many hamsters as we do, it soon adds up!
•Veterinary Care: Our hamsters all receive necessary veterinary visits and medical treatments. We recently had vet bills costing over €200 for just one hamster!
•Enrichment: We provide our hamsters with toys, exercise wheels, and other enrichment items to keep them happy and healthy. Where possible we make the most of DIY and recyclable accessories, but there are still important enrichment items required, especially when caring for long term hammies.
Your donation, no matter how big or small, can make a real difference in the life of a rescue hamster. Please consider donating to Hamster Info Ireland today.

This year, we are sharing the story of each of our 2024 charity calendar stars every month so you can learn more about the hamster behind the photo. Clementine is our featured hamster for the month of May: she was one of 4 babies rescued with their mother by Hamster Info Ireland, who were dubbed the Fruity Family.
In May 2023, we stumbled across a litter of tiny Syrian hamsters and their mother on DoneDeal. These hamsters were visibly far below 8 weeks old, so we didn't want the owner to privately rehome them.
We offered to take the family into our foster network. We were told the hamsters were gone and thought the case was lost, but we learned through a HII supporter who had also reached out about the little family that they were actually still available. Plans were soon put in place to get them into our care.
Once the hamsters were collected by our Chairperson Sophie, it transpired that these precious babies were likely just 3-4 weeks old, based on their recorded weights and behaviours. There were 4 babies, who we named Kiwi, Banana, Raspberry, and Strawberry - who's now known as Miss Clementine! Their friendly mama was named Tutti Frutti.
Upon health-checking mum and babies, we found that one of Clementine's sisters, poor Banana, had a broken paw, and unfortunately, she was put to sleep due to the nature of her injuries. We were so grateful to our supporters for helping this family make their way to us, as we can't guarantee poor Banana would have gotten the vet care she needed without our intervention.
One of our other trustees, Tina, had recently lost her Syrian Chip when this family was rescued. She decided to start a special new cage build for Clementine, a mammoth 300x100x75cm enclosure to suit the needs of a very high-energy young female Syrian. We believe this is the largest hamster enclosure currently in Ireland and the UK! Clementine was raised by Sophie before heading north of the border to her lovely new home once she was old enough.
She uses every bit of the space provided to her, and most enjoys burrowing or foraging. Clementine is a sassy girl who likes to do things her own way - she'll approach humans for treats or fresh food, but says a big "no thanks!" to more interaction than that. Thankfully, Tina is just happy to watch her exploring in her new home, ready to give her a little fuss as and when Clem's mood permits. She's now just over a year old and is a very healthy, contented hamster.

🐹 RAIN'S STORY 🐹
Many of our rescues are very straightforward cases, where their owners were just ill-informed about proper hamster care but always met their most basic needs. But others, such as Rain, have much more difficult backgrounds.
Rain and his friends Forest, Cotton, Lavender and Bloom were a very complex multiple-intake situation. Sadly, their owner just wasn't able to meet even their basic needs, despite loving them all very much. When we rescued Rain, he was in a tiny little cuddle bag with a small mesh window on the side.
Despite being with us for 6 months, little Rain hadn't found a home of his own, unlike all his intake mates. Rain deserved to have a more permanent setup than his foster home, so our Chairperson Sophie built a lovely new lid for the glass tank he was given and adopted him herself! Rain now has a gorgeous rainforest-themed enclosure that is packed with enrichment and colour - perfect for beautiful Rain and his colourful personality!
📢 URGENT: Adopters Needed - We're full! 🐹
We need your help! Hamster Info Ireland is at full capacity, so we're desperately seeking loving adopters for the hamsters in our care. We have some incredibly adorable young hamsters waiting for their forever homes – a litter of Syrian hamsters who are just 7 weeks old and some sweet Russian dwarf hamsters nearing 14 weeks old. Both litters still have both male and female babies remaining, so it's the perfect time to apply if you have a strong preference for a specific species and s*x.
Babies get all the love, of course, but we also have a longstanding resident, our shy boy Cosmo, who is an extra special little man in need of somebody to love him forever. He's been with us for a while now and really deserves to belong somewhere that's all his own. ❤️
By adopting, you’re not just gaining a furry friend: you’re taking the most impactful action you can for our charity. We simply CANNOT help more hamsters until we free up space. Our doors are closed to new intakes as there's simply no more room! There are so many hamsters who need us right now that we’ve had to turn some away, which breaks our hearts. The hamsters need us, and we need YOU if we're to help them!
If you’re considering adopting, now is the time. Apply today and change a hamster’s life forever! 🏠✨

💶🐹 DONATION APPEAL 🐹💶
As predicted at Christmas, the start of 2024 has brought babies our way.
We have two litters currently - our gorgeous Scooby Doo gang, hybrid dwarf hamsters, and the lovely Ninja Turtle clan, beautiful Syrians.
Aside from seeking fab adopters for each of these truly amazing hamsters, we need to rebuild our financial buffer so we can sustain our rescue work. Litters eat into our budget significantly. Pre-weaning litters need plenty of resources to get to separation and then rehoming age, and each of those babies gets their own enclosure once they're fully socialised at 8 weeks old. We do things ethically at HII, and that means each soul must have their needs fully met while in foster.
While these litters have all they need because we were financially prepared to take them, we have now depleted the litter fund. Help us replenish this lifeline for the next hammy family in need by donating today.

Today is Romeo’s 500th day in rescue.
Born at Hamster Info Ireland on December 28th, 2022, Romeo has watched all 7 of his siblings and his parents be adopted into forever homes.
Romeo has grown so much over the past year and a half, all he wants now is a peaceful home with someone who’s going to spoil him.
Could you be Romeo’s forever home?
Hamster Info Ireland has a free enclosure available, so if you’d like to give Romeo a home, but you’re having trouble finding a suitable enclosure, let us know in your adoption application!
We’ll need to see proof of other purchases prior to reservation as with all other adoptions.

This year, we are sharing the story of each of our 2024 charity calendar stars each month so you can learn more about the hamster behind each photo. Eros is our featured hamster for the month of April. Eros was one of 8 babies born at Hamster Info Ireland after his parents were surrendered to us.
In December 2022, we received a surrender form from a family who had bought a Syrian hamster. This hamster had escaped and they were unable to find her. Their child missed their hamster, so they bought Jingle and Belle, the Roborovskis. After spending 2 months in the walls of the house, the original Syrian shows up, and their child no longer wants the Roborovskis. We agreed to take them in.
On collection, we realised we may have a pregnancy on our hands, Jingle and Belle were being kept in the same cage. When Sophie got them home, they were immediately separated and Belle went on pregnancy watch. Two weeks later, on December 28th, 8 tiny jellybeans were born, one of whom was little Eros. We knew they’d be ready for adoption near Valentine’s Day, so we decided their names would have to suit the holiday.
Roborovski hamsters are skittish at the best of times, so they’re very difficult to rehome. As they got older, Eros and his siblings were adopted out or distributed among the Hamster Info Ireland foster network. Eros landed on his feet in Northern Ireland with fosterer Tina. Eros waited many months for his chance at a forever home, but sadly many adopters chose Syrians and Russian Dwarf hamsters instead, as they seemed more appealing than a skittish robo.
Eventually Eros and his brothers Romeo and Amoretto were the only three remaining from the litter. We then received an adoption application from Adam who was looking to rehome a hamster in need. He was open to adopting a hamster who was in desperate need of a home, so of course we suggested Eros. We were so happy when Adam said ‘yes’, and soon Eros was packing his bags off to his forever home.
Adam tells us Eros can still be skittish at times but has really grown in confidence, to the point where he will now wait patiently for feeding time! He’ll rush over when he hears the enclosure lid opening ready to accept any treats on offer. It’s safe to say Eros has landed firmly on his feet in his new home and we couldn’t be happier for him.

ADOPTING A HAMSTER? ⭐🐹⭐
If so, it's vital you have a suitable setup ready to welcome your new friend into. A hamster enclosure must have adequate space for keeping such an active animal busy, with deep substrate for burrowing, as well as being able to fit enough enrichment and necessary accessories for a happy hamster. 💖🐹💖
Our checklist shows what you will need before you bring a hamster home. ✅ This type of ethical care ensures the hamster can display natural behaviours.
Beware of common mistakes made by new hamster owners as shown in our 'Petshop Pitfalls' infographic. These types of cages and accessories are outdated and completely unsuitable but still promoted in pet shops across Ireland. 😔

⭐ LAVENDER ⭐
Lavender is a stunning female Syrian hamster with the most gorgeous coat we've seen in a long time (so soft and shiny! 🤩✨)
She was rescued from a situation where she was receiving very poor care. When she first arrived she was a sleepy little girl who was happy to hide away in her burrows. Perhaps used to having no enrichment in her previous home...
Not anymore!! Lavender now LOVES human interaction and wants nothing more than to spend lots of time with you. She loves her treats (as you can see from the video!) and is very happy to come out for playtime and cuddles in the evening. She's such a sweet girl and we think she would make a fantastic hamster for someone new to hamster keeping.

⭐ WANDA ⭐
How cute is little Wanda!!! Wanda is an adorable Russian Dwarf (hybrid) and currently our only female dwarf hamster available. She is approximately 5 months old.
Wanda was taken into the rescue alongside Cosmo the Roborovski (housed separately) after the children in their previous family lost interest.
As you can see from the video, Wanda is very food motivated. She has come on in leaps and bounds with her taming, thanks to her fosterer who has done so well getting her used to being handled. She no longer nips, and is always wanting to come out and play.

VANILLA’S STORY Vanilla’s story started as many do: a small pet store missold 2 Syrians in 1 cage. 54 babies were produced in total due to this unethical practice – the owners weren’t aware the hamsters were opposite sexes. Unfortunately, things only spiralled from there as the pet shop refused to offer much help or support for splitting the babies or figuring out some plans. Sadly, out of the final litter of 10, 4 babies had the eyeless white gene, including little Vanilla, which is caused by breeding two incompatible Syrians together. This meant that these babies were born blind and deaf, and they also showed some neurological and behavioural symptoms. This was when the desperate owners turned to us for help. Vanilla came to one of our trustees Tina alongside his eyeless white sisters, Sugar, Frappe, and Latte as permanent residents. Hamster Info Ireland decided that the four special little snowballs needed to remain in our permanent care due to their specific needs and prognosis. Eyeless whites have a typical lifespan of 9-12 months, so sadly the ladies have all passed away, but little Vanilla is beating all the odds and is still a busy, happy little hamster. Donations to Hamster Info Ireland help us care for the really special cases, like little Vanilla here. #hamster #rescuehamster #specialhamster #eyelesswhite #hamstercare #ethicalhamstercare #properhamstercare #properhamstercareadvocate #adoptdontshop #donate #donatetocharity #donatetohelp

RESCUE HAMSTER HIGHLIGHT ⭐ PRINGLES ⭐ Pringles is a Russian Dwarf (hybrid) and is one of our longterm residents. He has been at the rescue since last May (almost one year!) making him our second longest foster hamster after Romeo. Pringles is approximately a year and 4 months old, so he's really in the prime of his life. He was taken from a situation where two hamsters were being kept in the same tiny enclosure. Sadly Pringles' cage mate had been sold by the time we got to him. He has an inquisitive personality and loves to explore his enclosure and check out any new boredom breakers he has been given. He will always come out to say hello when he knows you're nearby. Pringles was very overweight when we took him in, weighing a huge 76g. It took a long time to get him to a more suitable weight but he's doing quite well presently at 58g. His new owner will have to keep him on a very strict diet with not too many treats or edible sprays in the enclosure to try to keep him in a healthy condition. The type of home we need for Pringles is a quiet, calm home. His previous family had children and he developed a habit of biting. For this reason we feel it would be unfair to rehome him to a family with young children who will want to hold him and play with him. He is fine to be scooped up gently with cupped hands but he does tend to nip when approached from the front - most likely thinking fingers are food!! He tends to be calmer while in his enclosure with familiar surroundings, whereas he can get a little stressed when in a playpen. Pringles will make a lovely companion for the right person and we'd really love for him to find the perfect forever home. If you'd like to apply to adopt Pringles, or any of our rescue hamsters, please visit our website: https://hamsterinfoireland.ie/available-for-adoption/
Wanda used to be very timid and hesitant around human hands, but her foster home has done such a good job gaining her trust and teaching her not all humans are bad! The work our fosterers do is second to none. Opening your home and working with an animal that’s not had the best start in life is a tough thing to do, even when the animal is as small as little Wanda. If you’re interested in volunteering (as a foster home or a transport volunteer) or if you’re interested in adopting, please visit our website (link in bio) and have a read of the process. If you have any questions, you know where to find us! #hamster #fosterhamster #rescuehamster #hamsterrescue #hamstercharity #hamstercare #properhamstercare #properhamstercareadvocate #ethicalhamstercare
