Why choose a hamster from us:
- We LOVE syrian hamsters. We consider them members of our family, cared for with love and respect.
- We are fascinated by the study of genetics.
- We want to contribute to the improvement of the overall quality of hamsters, through conscientious and selective breeding.
- We want to give pet owners access to healthy, tame and well-bred hamsters as an alternative to pet store hamsters.
- We want to connect with hamster lovers in the area and help educate pet owners about proper hamster care.
If you decide to adopt from us, you will get a hamster that is:
- Raised with love and respect - this means that we do not breed them or house them improperly - they are members of the family and they are treated as such;
- Provided with the best possible care;
- Tame and friendly - our pups are handled frequently, from the time they open their eyes, and should be used to human handling when they leave our hamstery at six weeks of age;
- Provided with their genetic pedigree, which includes their personal genotype, and phenotype - this means you will know what genes they carry, and what the hamster’s colour/pattern/fur is - and their lineage;
- Potty trained - this means you just have to provide a bowl of sand and they do the rest;
- Adopted with a care bag that includes 1lb of the same lab blocks they have been raised on;
- Adopted with lifetime support - this means continuous communication with us during the entirety of your hamster's life.
We want to ensure our hamsters will be going to a loving family and will have the best life possible once they leave our care. Please refer to proper care page before submitting your application. We reserve the right to refuse to sell our hamsters to you for any reason we choose.

Adoption Process
Requirements
Before submitting the application on the adoption application page, we have listed all our requirements on cage size, wheel size, bedding type and nutrition. It is important that you agree and commit to meeting them. We do review each application individually and will approve your application only upon meeting those requirements.
Application
If you have read and accepted our requirements, please submit the adoption application. We use the application to find out what you and your family are looking for. Also, based on the care information provided, we will provide advice and suggestions in order to enhance your knowledge on proper hamster care, if necessary.
Confirmation
Once you have submitted your application, expect to receive an email confirmation from us within 5-7 days. As already mentioned, we review each application and provide feedback based on the information provided. Once we approve your application, officially add you to the wait list based on the date of application.
Waiting Period
Our wait times are currently 3-5 months. We are focused on quality vs. quantity and we are breeding on a small scale as we are not in the position to have more hamsters that we can appropriately provide the proper care and attention we expect from all our adopters. We encourage you to follow us on social media to learn more about our hamsters
Checking in
Once a litter is born and your turn comes on the list, we will send out an email to get a sense how many adopters we can count on for that particular litter. It does take a lot of time and preparation to have these little babies adopted so we would like to have all potential adopters lined up. You may skip a particular litter if the timing is not right, just let us know! If you fail to reply to our email, your name will be removed from our waitlist.
Selection
Once you have confirmed that you would like to proceed with the adoption process, and once babies are 4-5 weeks old, we will start the selection process of the babies based on pictures on a first come, first serve babies. We do expect to have a response within 24 hours. Once you select your baby hamster, we do require the picture of your cage and wheel and a $25 deposit to reserve the hamster. We do ask for a picture of the whole setup prior to picking up your hamster.
Adoption Contract
A few days prior to picking up your baby hamster, we do ask you for a picture of the entire set up as we do expect the cage to be hamster ready.
We also ask you to sign a pet adoption contract, and provide you our care sheets and a digital pedigree, and link you to our private Facebook adopter group.
Pick up
The pick up is usually scheduled in the weekend immediately after the pups' 7 weeks birthday . We do hold two adoption events: one in Los Angeles area on Saturday and one in Orange County on Sunday.
We provide a personalized adoption experience and schedule everyone 20-30 min. apart, so we can go over important care information, show you handling and health check techniques. We would like to be your guide and join you in your new adventure after the adoption is over.
