  • Thank you to my amazing volunteer who helped coordinate this trip, we were able to rescue 3 hamsters and 2 gerbils from bad situations. So bad that the title should explain how I feel. Neglect, bad choices, why do people have animals that they clearly shouldn't have? Enjoy their introductions as one has a future vet trip planned.

    To me it seems like the person with the two hamsters together was probably told that they shouldn't house 2 hamsters together and that's why they waited and went to another store to get the second one. Or they mistook the hamster for being lonely when it was just miserable from not being cared for correctly.

    It might be a bit on the nose but what about Achilles? After all that he's gone through I think naming him after a hero of greek mythology who's body was invulnerable except for one of his heels is quite fitting. He's a trooper.

    I think he looks like an Angel, poor guy has gone through so much and still is so calm and angelic. I hope the adoptions pick up again, the best wishes for your rescue and continue the good work.

    The winter white looks like a Cream Puff to me! Mainly from his lovely colouration, and the fact that he's so big and squishy haha. I'm so glad he was able to get out of that horrible situation (same with all the other animals), you truly are doing such amazing work! :]

    For the obese winter white, I think Pancake would be a cute and great name for him.
    Also, when I was in high school I had permission to get a hamster. I didn't know any better at that time, but the pet store owner said I had to adopt both of them. Both were brothers and I said I only wanted one, but I took both because they refused to adopt out one and not the other

    Due to his broken leg (poor thing) the winter white dwarf would suit a pirate themed name.

    @xpandorasboxx Před 3 lety +15

    Please name that poor thing Zira! Short for Aziraphale, an adorable, sweet angel who is also chunky and is very strong ( Could refer to his injury for that ) . It suits him perfectly! Even his coloring matches up. Hopefully it helps him get a good home too, the Good Omens fandom is incredibly sweet and wholesome, I'm sure someone from it would take the best care possible for him.

    I hope the hurt guy improves. I have a winter white hybrid named Gwen who was obese when I got her, and since then she has just grown and grown. I know its not my food for two reasons, she's on the same food as the rest of my adult hamsters and no one else is even close to obese, and the first thing my vet did was put her on a diet with a higher fresh veggie content + some meds to try and help her lose some weight. It didn't work, and she's already been tested for diabetes. At this point both me and my vet kinda think it's a thyroid issue, but she is wary to put her on meds for it as it could kill her if we are wrong. Hopefully this guy has a much better time losing that weight than my girl though!
