Meet Peter🐹

[kat]

Hi guys
Just rehomed this cute fella, Peter!
He’s adorable.
We think he’s about 1 year old but not 100%.
Picked him up today and so far he’s settling in lovely!
Any helpful tips?

Congratulations. He's gorgeous! It looks like he's in a hamster heaven, so main tip would be a bigger cage and lots of deep bedding

There's a list of suitable cages/enclosures here Apologies if you were already doing that - maybe that's just the cage he came in.

Hamster Cages 2025

Here is a list of suitable cages available for hamsters in 2025. Whether you prefer tank style or barred cages, front access or top access, there is, thankfully, plenty of choice in the Uk and Europe. Choice in the US is mainly tanks and tank style or diy. Both tank style and barred cages...

He looks lively and very cute and an interesting colour. So pleased you adopted him and he didn't end up stuck in a rescue for ages.

Hello & welcome to the forum.
Congrats on getting Peter, he really is gorgeous, lovely photo!
Look forward to seeing more of him as he settles in with you.

Same thoughts as Maz on the cage, he will need something bigger & then you will be able to give him lots of enrichment too.
I would just leave him to settle for a few days or so now though.

So cute when they put their paws up on the wire at the front of the cage and stare at you
