What is their background story?:
Ginny was originally housed with another hamster and they were both brought in by ACR to enjoy their lives separately!
What is their favourite activity?:
Ginny’s favorite activity is shoving food into her cheek pouches and hiding them in obscure places so no one can steal what’s hers!
What is their favourite food?:
Lettuce and blueberries, pellets and seed mix. PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING!
What is their best trait?:
I love how trusting Ginny was right off of the bat. She allowed her foster to pet her on the first day of arrival, and was great with holding a few days later! She is a very sweet and energetic girl

What is their background story?:
Muffin came to the ACR along with her 4 other siblings and Mom in a teeny cage. The fosters all met late one Wednesday night in a parking lot for a hamster party aka foster gathering to split the babies from mom. She had come from an accidental litter and needed saving.
What is their favourite activity?:
She is learning to build nests and tunnels. But she is still a little baby and needs time to understand the big world and how to hamster. So she needs time before she can be adopted.
What is their favourite food?:
She loves lettuce, and raspberries so far.
What is their best trait?:
She is very good at hiding and making tunnels.

What is their background story?:
Izzie was surrendered into our care as she was not getting the proper care or socialization in her previous home.
What is their favourite activity?:
Izzie loves running on her wheel! She did not have an appropriate sized one in her previous enclosure, and now she's quite the runner!
What is their favourite food?:
Izzie loves her Mazuri pellets, blueberries, peppers & lettuce.
What is their best trait?:
Izzie is the sweetest hamster I have had in my care. She is easily handled, and is very calm and sweet when being handled.
Final thoughts:
Izzie would benefit from an enclosure larger then 800 sq in as she is a very active hamster and deserves the absolute best!

What is their background story?:
Marzipan came into the rescue with the group of "pastry" babies. She was kept in a small cage with all 4 of her siblings and her mama, Pistachio.
What is their favourite activity?:
Now living the solo girlie life, Marzipan LOVES her new big wheel (and not having to share with her sisters). She also loves to tunnel in her new, large enclosure and takes tons of sand baths.
What is their favourite food?:
She loves cucumber and bell peppers! Still testing out some new snacks to see what else she loves!
What is their best trait?:
Marzipan is a shy, sweet girl that really has opened up in the last few weeks in our care. She is the only one of the pastry babies with a beige face, all the rest are grey/black like Mama Pistachio! She is such a fun ham to watch grow and interact with. She is still getting used to being handled, but she is going to be a great addition to any home.
Final thoughts:
Once Marzipan has settled, she should be available for adoption after May 1st.

What is their background story?:
Meringue is from a home where she was in a cage with her mom and littermates.
What is their favourite activity?:
Meringue is the definition of #workoutgoals. You can find her running on her wheel from 11 P.M. to 7 A.M.! This may be because she went from having to share a small wheel with her siblings to enjoying a big one by herself!
What is their favourite food?:
Meringue doesn’t have a favorite because she likes everything! She loves her seed mix and fresh veggies most.
What is their best trait?:
Meringue is extremely chill! She does not mind being pet and is fine with being held. She is a sweetheart!!!

What is their background story?:
Coconut Cream's family was surrendered in a very tiny cage with a wheel too small for even a mouse.
What is their favourite activity?:
Coconut Cream loves to run on her wheel, taste new treats and nap inside her wood house. She loves to dig and would like to have a variety of sand and coconut fiber to dig and roll in. She is using her sand regularly as her washroom and getting used to not soiling her bed.
What is their favourite food?:
Coconut Cream loves organic gerber honey baby biscuits and will hold your fingers for balance while she crunches away on a cookie.
What is their best trait?:
Coconut Cream is as sweet as pie. She is timid of people but learning to trust hands and her confidence is growing as she learns that human hands come with treats.
Final thoughts:
Coconut Cream needs a loving, patient person who can appreciate her sweet but timid personality. She is waiting for a forever home to spoil her and treat her as the sweet little treat that she is!
