Litter 2 are now 4 weeks old. KitKat and her daughters; Buttons, Aero and Twirl have moved into their new hamster haven. The Girls from Litter 3 will be joining them next week when they reach 4 weeks.
The boys, Mars and Rolo are staying in the cage they were born in and the boys from Litter 3 will be joining them next week.

KitKat will be going to a foster home tomorrow and she is available for adoption, we just want to give a her a rest from raising the babies for a little while first.

If you’re interested in adopting any of our rescues or the babies that were born in our care, please apply through our website (link in bio). All applications should be sent to rescue@hamsterinfoireland.ie

Morning free roam time with Litter 2 🥰🐹
Meet Mars, Rolo, Aero, Twirl and Buttons, the babies and their mother KitKat.

My baby Trix reached a huge milestone last night.

My baby Trix reached a huge milestone last night.
Trix has been extremely timid, running and hiding at the slightest noise.
So I put my hand in his cage to get him used to it being there every 10 minutes or so and just when I was finishing up and heading to bed, he was at the cage door so I tried once last time. He climbed out on to my hand not a bother on him and let me bring him into the bathroom for his first free roam.
He was loving it but it was midnight 😂
So I bring him back in and “put him to bed” and that’s wen the below video happened.
I honestly can’t believe the difference but I’m so proud of him 🥰

The time of the week where we show you all the wonderful hammies that are in need of a home. We currently have 7 BABY winter white dwarf hamsters who are just the most adorable little things. They are almost old enough to be separated from each other so we are accepting adoption applications for them now.

All of these hamster's profiles can be found in our Website (link in bio) along with information on the step by step adoption process, a checklist, and the application form. If you need any help or have any questions at all please DM us or email: rescue@hamsterinfoireland.ie and our team will help you out! ^_^

So Spring has chewed through one of the toys she had which was made of very thick sisal and had these small wooden discs on them. So I’ve turn them into dream catcher chews for herself and Terence.
Hamster toys, accessories and set ups don’t have to be expensive.
Also, had to drill a hole through Violets whimzee and hang it so that she doesn’t mill it and take it to her fluffy pink lair…. Just realised she’s basically Professor Umbridge 🤦‍♀️

Ok so I’ve seen a few people asking and I’ve seen posts all over Facebook about helping dogs and cats keep cool (cos they’re the only pets that matter - sorry, not sorry)
As you can see, it’s reaching 28°C in my hamster room right now so I want to share a few tips to help keep your hamster cool. I thought the Irish summer was over - I was wrong.
Right now - everyone should be asleep, they’re in a cool dark place in their nests. But our rooms are heat traps so when they wake up later, they’re gonna feel like they’ve stepped off the plane in Florida.

🔴 Keep ceramics (mugs, tiles, etc) in your fridge for an hour (or more), when your hamster wakes up, give them one and when that gets to room temp. then you can swap it out.

🔵 Keep your windows open to allow air flow and your blinds down to keep the sun rays out - this will help keep the room cooler until they wake up.

🟡 Keep their water full - it’s days like today that I wish my bottles weren’t so leaky 🙄

🟣 Get the fan out! Keep the air moving through the house and remember that heat rises so try and keep the fan at the same height as your enclosure so the cool air pushes the warm air up and away from your hamster.

🟢 Tonight at the Hammy Hotel, I’m serving the baby food pouches from aldi, I keep them in the fridge so they’re nice and cool for dinner time. Syrians can have more of the fruit flavoured pouches than the dwarves, but this is why I never give my dwarves fruit; so that when it is this warm, I can give them a small amount of these and I don’t have to worry about sugar levels.

🟠 If you haven’t already, buy a thermometer like the one I have below, they’re a godsend. (I’m hoping to stock these on sophiescustomcages.com soon, I know it’s a bit late now but keeping hamsters cool in the summer is easier than keeping them warm in the winter!)

Hope this helps!!
