Hi Hamster Friends! This week I'll be chatting about my continued battle against (what I believe to be) Tropical Rat Mites. It's exhausting and eye opening and makes me really appreciate what I have (and also miss holding my hamsters and their soft little bods!) Thanks for joining me on my hamster care journey! **** Where my hamsters came from: Steven- PetCo Sofia- Hamster Rescue https://www.instagram.com/hamsterrescue Lavern & Shirley: Tiny Tracks hamster Rescue: https://instagram.com/tinytracksrescue Oscar: LA County Animal Shelter, Baldwin Park: https://animalcare.lacounty.gov/view-our-animals/ Maurice: https://www.melsneighborhood.com/ Thor: Pet Supplies Plus (marked down from $17 --> $3 bc he had been there for 8 months :( If you are interested in adopting or fostering a hamster, please see my website for a list of hamster or small animal rescues in your area: https://www.rachelgothamsters.com/adopting-or-surrendering-a-hamster There are so many hamsters in need of a loving home with a large wheel and lots of burrowing space! Fostering is a great way to help out and very rewarding. Most small animal rescues also take donations through their website, anything helps! ************************
