I had never wanted a hamster, but I rescued one anyway when I was about 19/20 - he was being advertised on a local "free/for sale" page because some child had got sick of him, so I took him and his cage despite only keeping rats usually. And then I promptly upgraded the cage because it was a tiny rotastak one, haha. I called him Rhubyn and he was a handsome little guy - long haired, brown/caramel/white coloured and a really sweet lad. He loved his treats and cuddles and when he died I ended up looking for another one from similar circumstances.
