Matter of Fact Monday

This week, we'd like to talk about something that, unfortunately, we all have to go through. We believe making plans for the end of your hamsters life is very important. It's our duty as their carers to make sure they are always comfortable, no matter what.
Please have a read through the info graphics below and please ask questions if you have them.

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BREED HAMSTERS Ethical hamster

WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BREED HAMSTERS

Ethical hamster breeding is a serious commitment and not something to be taken lightly. A huge amount of time, hard work and money goes into breeding hamsters properly. Ethical breeders do not breed for profit, in fact they often only break even or make a loss. They work hard to better the species by improving overall health, physical condition and temperament. It can be a very rewarding hobby.

See the infographics below for more information about what's involved when ethically breeding hamsters.

While this group focuses primarily on it's rescue hamsters, and trying to find new homes for them; it's equally important to promote ethical breeders, and encourage new owners to choose a well bred pedigree hamster instead of one bred in a rodent mill.

Ethical breeders and rescues are not opposites. It is acceptable to get your hamster from a rescue or an ethical breeder. Most rescue hamsters exist because people chose to buy from UNETHICAL sources, such as pet shops, and backyard breeders on 'buy and sell' websites; which are the cause of impulse buying, no correct planning for the new pet, and often accidental litters.

In an ideal world, all hamsters would be bought through ethical breeders, who would ensure the hamster has everything it needs to thrive in it's new home. Their waiting list would ensure that new owners are prepared and committed to owning a hamster beforehand and not just buying one because it "looked cute in the shop". This drastically reduces the likelihood of the hamster needing to be rehomed.

At the moment @silverwoods_hamstery is Ireland's only ethical hamster breeder. 🐹
