Wheat­ley is a 10 month old Chi­nese Ham­ster that came into res­cue in March 2013 as his owner had too many pets. Wheat­ley is very easy to han­dle, although he is a lit­tle shy. He needs a home who has the time to build up his con­fi­dence. He was ini­tially a lit­tle under­weight but has put on some extra weight here and his coat con­di­tion has improved.

Wheat­leys ini­tial home became unsuit­able as unfor­tuneately over the cold weather he devel­oped some res­pi­ra­tory issues. Although he is recov­er­ing well his sus­pectibil­ity to this meant he was no longer a fair choice as a child’s pet. He has found a niche with an expe­ri­enced ham­ster owner who will be keep­ing a care­ful eye on him.
