Meet Maisie
Maisie is a Syrian hamster (aka teddy bear/golden/common hamster) and has tortoiseshell/caramel coloring, with long-hair. She was purchased at a pet store only a few weeks ago, along with another Syrian female. The previous owner decided to rehome and at the time, had both living in a commercial plastic cage. Syrian hamsters are solitary and will fight to the death if housed together. Thankfully, these girls were only starting to bicker and didn't harm one another (also, sister Penny has an adoption pending!).
Maisie is very social and loves out-of-cage playtime with her foster mom! She loves running on her wheel and playing in her sandbox. Please apply on our website if you think Maisie would make a great addition to your family.
We follow the habitat guidelines as recommended by the Hamster Society of Singapore which currently requires a minimum cage size of 40cm x 80cm or 620sqin, in contiguous floor space. The bigger, the better.
Additionally, we require a wheel that is at least 10 inches, as hamsters' backs must be straight when running. Other necessities can be found on our website but include high quality pellet food with a supplemental seed mix, sandbox with repti-sand or sterilized play-sand, enrichment opportunities, and play-pen access.
Please be prepared to provide photos of your habitat and habitat accessories.
Given that anesthesia is risky for small mammals, hamsters are left intact. However, breeding is absolutely not permitted and you will be required to enter into a no-breeding agreement.
