Name: Pesto
Age: Adult
Sex: Male
Breed: Syrian Hamster
Ref number: 19
Personality:
Pesto is a friendly boy who loves coming over to people. He is happiest when he is storing his snacks away in his pouch for later or having a wash in his sand bath. His favourite thing to do is to burrow down under his bedding and go through his different tunnels.
Behaviour:
Pesto doesn’t mind being handled but is not keen on over handling, so a gentle slow approach will be needed and to keep times he is being handled short.
Housing:
Pesto will need a minimum of 100cm by 50cm enclosure of unbroken floor space and deep bedding for burrowing (not wood shavings). Please talk to the staff for further information about enrichment and diet.
Children/pets:
Pesto can live around other animals in a separate room and can be homed with secondary school aged children (12-18 years). Younger children should be supervised when interacting with and handling him.
Vet history:
Currently has no medical issues.
