Crittery can take in exotic rescues where we have space. Any animal that does not find a responsible, vetted home just stays with Crittery for the rest of its life. If you are new to a species please do not let it put you off enquiring; we are here to offer advice and support on these animals as well as give you plenty of resources to continue your research.
Articles on care, natural enrichment, environment and illness as well as issues such as split-caging gerbils and introducing new mice.
Our media section includes articles, videos and the new Rodentpedia - a searchable FAQ! We are looking for new authors to write articles on a range of subjects, or help contribute to expanding the Rodentpedia knowledge base.

Hammy group

Species: dwarf hamster
Group: various
Arrived: 11 January 2020

Sanctuary - Crittery Resident

These hamster came to us from a mixed group of ten hamster living in a single cage. As a result, some have been fighting and girls are on pregnancy watch. They've been separated into separate cages and are under assessment. These hamsters need some tlc before they are ready for their new homes, but are very calm and easy to handle. They will make excellent pets and deserve a home with plenty of love, time and attention. Please do get in touch if you have a dwarf shaped space in your heart!
