So this morning we had our final adoption of 2023!!! Gorgeous syrian Pearl was reserved last week, and pick up was organised for today. She was happily awake for her adoption, but unfortunately it was raining so it was a quick handover before getting her safely home. Good luck wee girl xx

Double adoption for these 2 today. Their journeys started yesterday when they were both transferred to Rosyth and spent the night there, ready for today's adoption. So we have gorgeous 12 week old dwarf Kaynan, who transferred brilliantly, and very cute Ashley who is approximately 7/8mths and slept through the whole thing. They are now off on a train ride home with their new mum. Good luck on your next adventure wee ones xx

So today this gorgeous girl came in from Glasgow.....thank u for meeting me Julie and picking up this girl. So this gorgeous syrian girl is 10mth old Sprinkles, she's a little bit stressed from the moves and will definitely need some time to settle. She will not be ready for reserving or adoption until the new year, as she needs time to be health checked and assessed xx

Thank you so much to Callum, Amy and the furbabies for this brilliant donation from our Amazon wishlist. We really appreciate it ###

Gorgeous 9 week old Sia is off to her forever home. This sweet little syrian girl was doing a passable impression of a hammerhead shark after pouching a small piece of apple from breakfast plus another of cucumber which her new owners had helpfully brought to keep her hydrated for her journey to Stirling. Despite her looking like a total mutant hamster her new owners were very taken with her and she transferred easily. Good luck sweetheart ###

***REHOMED ***
Kaynan is a very pretty wee dwarf boy. He’s only 10 weeks and, having already had to move home in his short life, he’s a bit confused and nervous. The nerves are fairly typical for a baby dwarf though. He’s becoming braver, taking food from my hand, and doesn’t run away from me any more, but he is not confident enough for handling. He loves his wheel and burrowing in deep bedding. He needs a patient owner who will give him the time to tame him.

***AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION ROSYTH ***
So these gorgeous girls are looking for homes before our Christmas closure, there's more info under each picture xx

***AVAILABLE IN KIRKCALDY ***
Okay our final push before closing next week. These gorgeous girls are available and looking for homes xx

02/12/2023

I'm having the day off to celebrate my 58th year on this earth so Kirsty is manning the messages. Hopefully we can get our remaining rescues rehomed before we close on Thursday for a month ###

**IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ**
Hey guys we are now into our final week of rehoming for 2023. The rescue will close next Thursday (7th December) and reopen on Sunday 7th January 2024. This is your last chance to adopt one of the beautiful hamsters waiting patiently for their very own Christmas miracle in the shape of a loving family and a forever home. We have regulation sized used cages for sale at low prices and are more than happy to help out with some bits and pieces of equipment to help our furbabies get their second chance. Please note we can reserve your hamster for you but all adoptions MUST be completed/animals collected by the end of next weekend (Sunday 10th December) or they will be cancelled. As always we are NEVER closed to SURRENDERS and will continue to rescue throughout the festive season ###

This lovely friendly gerbil boy is Beans. He is around 20 months old. Unfortunately he has recently lost his cagemate and we will be looking to bond him with one of our single boys here once he's ready with an aim to rehoming as a bonded pair. He is not currently available for reservation, viewing or adoption. When he is he will require a deep based cage/tank with at least 80cm x 50cm of unbroken floorspace. Thank you so much to his owners for bringing him in today and also for donating 2 large gerbil tanks and one large hamster cage to the rescue ###

01/12/2023

These two gorgeous bonded gerbil girls are Selene (grey) and Lumi (white). They were reluctantly surrendered due to extremely sad circumstances and Kirsty brought them to me this afternoon (thank you). Their poor owner is devastated to give them up and once they are available for adoption we will be looking for a 10* forever home for these girls with a patient and experienced gerbil family. They are 18 months old and friendly but will need patience to help to progress their handleability. They're settling in just now and are not currently available for reservation, viewing or adoption. They will require a deep based cage or tank with at least 80cm x 50cm of unbroken floorspace ###

Hey all Kirsty here 👋 So you may remember our gorgeous syrian girl Mary-Kate, she came in stressed and with no age back in October. I have spent the last 6 weeks building up her trust and was confident she would be ready for adoption in January when we reopen. However last night I found her in her forever sleep, she was snuggled up in her bed and had passed in her sleep. RIP little girl we will miss u here xx 💞🌈

28/11/2023

Our stunningly handsome 10/11 month old long haired syrian boy, Bandit, is off to his forever home. This super friendly boy is an absolute sweetheart and despite only having him a couple of days I'm going to miss him. Good luck little one ###

28/11/2023

Gorgeous wee Rosalie just left for her new home! She was very reluctant to get up and come out of her coconut, but soon was making herself at home in the carrier. Good luck sweetheart xx

27/11/2023

Hello! Louise here 👋 A new foster arrived in Cupar a couple days ago! This is Frankie, the gorgeous peach coloured dwarf. He’s around a year old, and was kindly dropped off at my house the other day.
He’s currently in my zoozone 2 and I’ll be working with him on his handling for a little bit so he’s less flighty! Luckily when transferring him into his new cage he landed on the teabag because he definitely tried to make a leap for freedom 😂😂
He’s not currently available for adoption as I don’t want anyone to have an escapee on their hands! But once he’s used to being scooped he’ll be available. Just keep an eye on the page!
He’ll need a cage of 80cm by 50cm minimum when that time comes. Until then he’s with me, and will probably get far too many sunflower seeds until he comes around 😅🌻

**VIDEO VOICEOVERS**
Hi guys. We had a member bring up something important the other day. When we post our animal videos we normally put a wee potted bio up but leave the main description to the video voiceover. Our member brought up that deaf/hearing impaired hamster lovers could be missing out and we should perhaps look at a subtitling app. Sadly we have tried this several times but the translations of our broad Scots accents have resulted in much hilarity and we spent more time correcting mistakes than actually videoing. (Think of the lift scene in Burnistoun...."Illivin"). I personally want my rescue to be as inclusive as possible as my son is autistic, my husband has fibromyalgia and I work, as a volunteer, with people who have various conditions and disabilities and would obviously like everyone to feel involved and worthwhile. If you have problems hearing the voiceovers don't hesitate to contact us for more details, also if you struggle with dyslexia or similar we can speak to you directly if it's easier than trying to read the posts. If you're looking for a new furry friend all we ask is that you send us a pic of your set up which must meet our minimum cage sizes so we can approve you to adopt. Cage minimums will be changing in January to keep us in line with other rescues but I'll address that in another post and I also intend to make a new post detailing suitable and unsuitable cages. If we have inadvertently excluded anyone from our posts based on how they are worded or designed I'm so sorry it was completely unintentional and I hope going forward you will all realise we are extremely approachable and if you flag up any concerns we will address them as soon as we can ###

Our absolutely gorgeous 8 week old syrian girl Adele is off to her forever home. She woke up easily and was happy to transfer into her carrier as her new owners visibly fell in love with her at first sight (which was lovely). I'm going to miss this wee sweetheart as she has one of the sunniest dispositions I have ever encountered in 7 years of (officially) rescuing animals. Good luck in your new home my wee darling ###

25/11/2023

Feisty wee Cammy has toddled off to her forever home. Her lovely new owners travelled all the way down from Aberdeen to collect her and she was on her best behaviour (for a change) during the transfer into her new carrier. Good luck sweetheart ###

***Available in Rosyth ***
Okay so the Christmas closure is fast approaching (Dec 7th until Jan 7th) and we still have a few wee ones here in Rosyth hoping to get homes before Chrismas. We have 3 syrian ladies looking for homes, one can come with her own cage..... plus there is a Barney cage available in Rosyth too. I've done descriptions under the pictures for each hamster with their details. Send us a pm if you are interested in offering any of these ladies a home xx

25/11/2023

**UPDATE BARNEY NOW SOLD**

Available in Rosyth for a donation to the Rescue. We have a Barney cage, 2 Alaska cages and a Hamster Heaven cage, all have been used and have a little staining but other than that are in gd condition. Please pm the page to enquire about any of these cages xx

24/11/2023

**UPDATE - REHOMED**
This gorgeous long haired syrian boy is Bandit. He's around 10/11 months old and is super friendly. I collected him myself this afternoon in a very sad surrender and his owners were really upset to give him up. He is used to a huge glass detolf enclosure and has been extremely well cared for. He is not happy in the 100cm x 50cm Plaza so I'm moving him to a glass enclosure as soon as possible. He is an absolute sweetheart, really chilled and adores interaction. He will make someone a perfect pet. He is not currently available for reserving/viewing or adoption ###
❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹❤️🐹

This absolutely gorgeous wee soul was surrendered this afternoon and is settling in before being health checked. They are not available for viewing or adoption and they were previously housed in a detolf so are used to a lot of space. More details once I get them ###

**AVAILABLE IN KIRKCALDY**
Beautiful 9 month old Syrian girl Sasha is looking for her forever home. She allows handling but would much rather be running in her 28cm wheel or burrowing. She has chewed her way out of a Maxi Duna plastic tank cage so is currently in a glass tank. She will need a cage of at least 100cm x 50cm ###

So earlier today we were alerted to this wee girl on freeads, she was being given away. So we messaged and picked up this gorgeous 5 month old syrian girl. So far she's been very friendly, and seemed very happy to be out of her old cage, and have a decent sized wheel. She's not available yet until we have a chance to get to know and health check her xx

Rehomed 19/11/23 ###

Huge thanks to Julie B in Glasgow for helping this little one on a very long journey to his forever home. Our gorgeous friendly Syrian boy Rolo was safely ensconced in his carrier with cucumber and snacks for his trek to the beautiful Isle of Skye where his excited new family awaited him. Good luck in your new home little buddy ###
