🎃The Hamster Patch Sanctuary🎃
A little bit of an intro!
We’re a 2 person home ran (plus help from friends!) hamster sanctuary in the PNW.
We take in and care for hamsters ranging from just needing to be rehomed to special / medical needs and everything in between!

Goodnight Frappe.
Until we get to meet again.

Updates on Sunny.
We’ve moved him into a smaller enclosure temporarily for taming.
He doesn’t like me very much 💀

Meet Sunny ☀️
He’s a baby Syrian hamster.
Not sure on exact age but he is TINY BABY.
Like he is SO small and definitely one of the smallest Syrians I’ve ever brought home 😅

I think this might be one of my favorite cage “hamsterscapes” I’ve done so far. I wish the enclosure allowed for deeper bedding but I was still able to fit quite a lot!

Good night Greyson 😭
We had him euthanized this morning.
Everyone has gotten better from the fungus with the treatment except him. His over 2 years old.
And was having complications due to age and the fungus.

Hey friends!
I haven’t posted here in some time and that’s because a LOT has been going on 😅
So to give those who have been asking the full updates:
I noticed some skin and fur issues in several of the hams back in March and made an app for them to be seen.
The vet told us it was mites 1/
