Meet Luna

Luna is a very sweet senior Chinese hamster even though she does not act very old. She is around a year and a half in age, her former owner had had her for a year and 3 months in a very small cage. Poor Luna only had a tiny 3-4" Silent Spinner wheel (these wheels are too small for any hamster), and Chinese hamsters especially love their wheels. So, after moving Luna into a larger cage, we also gave her a medium Niteangel wheel, and she LOVES it. Chinese hamsters are often underrated, the majority of them are super sweet and very easy to handle. Their second favorite item in the cage after a decent size wheel is deep bedding. They love to burrow which can make them hard to find. Like most Chinese hamsters Luna likes to hold onto you while being held, instead of walking hand to hand.

Hamsters are solitary animals and should be housed by themselves. They are also crepuscular meaning they prefer to come out during dusk and dawn and often overnight. Luna is located in Macungie, PA.

Hamsters can make cute and fun little pets, but as any pets do, they require some special care. If you are interested in adopting, please check out the links below before submitting an application to make sure you are informed about the care they need. Luna's adoption fee is $15.

We recommend bin style cages for dwarf hamsters -

https://www.target.com/p/sterilite-110qt-clear-view-storage-bin-with-latch-purple/-/A-13794501. To make either of these storage bins into cages you would need to cut a hole in the lid and fix wire mesh in the lid to allow for ventilation. There are many YouTube videos to watch to show how to make these cages such as; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJYIVkqTZBE
