What is their background story?:
He was very well loved and cared for by his previous owner but they couldn't take him with them in their move.
What is their favourite activity?:
The very first thing he did when he arrived was start foraging. He is very food motivated but he also loves to dig and burrow as well as run on his wheel.
What is their favourite food?:
He loves his seed mix and lab blocks. His is a little bit picky with his veggies and treats but so far his favorites are broccoli, radish, and freeze dried chicken.
What is their best trait?:
He is very curious and nosy. He comes over when I open the door to his enclosure (mostly looking for treats) but you can also expect him to peek out a few times during the day as well.
Final thoughts:
He is very food motivated and has become quite desensitized to my hand and touch though he isn't quite comfortable with being picked up and held yet.

Melody is a gorgeous, quiet and soft-footed gal who currently greets the world with a hint of caution. Her gentle nature has started to shine through as she slowly learns to trust people. Patient hands and kind voices will help her continue to blossom.

What is their background story?:
Opie is one 8 pups from an accidental litter and surrendered to the Niagara humane society. Opie and most of the other pups where then surrendered to All Creatures Rescue after they were separated from mom.
What is their favourite activity?:
Opie is still a getting use to human hands so he loves to run and hide when he hears you. He loves running on his wheel now that he knows how to use it. He really likes free run time, but you have to catch him first.
What is their favourite food?:
So far Opie likes pretty much anything. When he first arrived he wasn’t too interested in food. He was given baby food mush which got him started to eat again.
What is their best trait?:
Everything about Opie is his best traits. He is a fun little guy but is growing. He is shy but still learning. He all around adorable.
Final thoughts:
We are still getting to know Opie and he is still learning on what it is to be a hamster. As he gets a bit older and socialized a bit more he will do well in any home.
