Hello People,
I am here seeking your help. I kept hamsters and rats a few yrs ago, and loved them to bits. Since then I have had dogs and cats added to the family. I really missed having rodents so I (very foolishly - please don't have a go I feel bad enough about it as it is!) bought a hamster a couple of months ago. She was sold to me as a boy so she is called Boris, but she very clearly is NOT a boy!
The problem is the cats will not leave her alone! I thought the novelty would wear off and they would get tired of her, give up and leave her alone.....
I am a fool! They will not leave her alone and as they are house cats they are in the home all the time and she doesn't get a break! I do not have a room not in use that I can keep her safe in away from them, other than my bedroom but due to health problems I am using the bedroom a lot and can't shut all the animals out all the time.
I am worried about what sort of home she will end up in if I advertise her, and therefore am asking if any of you hamster people can help, or point me in the right direction of a good new hamster home?
I'm in West Cornwall. She comes with a big cage and all the accessories, food, etc.
I need to find a home before the cats hurt her!
Help anyone??
