Berkey had a horrible start. Berkley came from an abusive situation where he and 6 others were kept in bucket to fed the owners reptiles. The previous owner was incarcerated for unrelated issues and arthurites came and removed all the animals in the home. We were immediately alerted that these 7 hamsters were in a shelter that had no experience taking or placing hamsters. Several rescues jumped into action to save these helpless creatures. Some worse than others, skinny, missing a foot and bite wounds. Berkley is so forgiving and living a wonderful life in foster but would love to have a person all to his own to care for him. We estimate he is approximately about 8 months of age at this point but we do not have any information on a back story other than what's already known. Berkley is located in Northeast Philadelphia 19111, Adoption fee is 15.00 Proof of habitat and supplies required before any application is approved.
Hamsters are crepuscular creatures. Like many other mammals, hamsters are more likely to be awake and active at dawn or dusk. This isn’t to say that some hamsters don’t ever stay awake all night. Much like humans, individual hamsters have their own sleep patterns. They aren’t all awake and playful at exactly the same time. This does mean you may not get quality time with them since most won't wake up until evening/nighttime.
