[Arraminta]

I would like to become a rescue person for hamsters in my area and was wondering if anyone could let me know the epway I would go about starting this.

I have 4 spare cages waiting

Thanks for any help/advice

id like to help look after unwanted hamsters too, but also have no idea how

I know 3 rescue ladies whom ive had some from and also scan the free ads for unwanted hams in my area. I have had 9 since last October i could have easily got more but i think this is my limit atm...
...........unless of course i get asked about a specifically urgent case?

Maybe a gumtree ad? That's how i kind of got myself known around here at first, but mind, when people start getting to know you as 'the hamster rescue girl' you start having to turn some hams away
I also know 2 other people who take on hamsters, one of which is helping with our latest one.

Check the websites like Preloved, gumtree, freeads, pets4homes etc

Arraminta, are you still thinking of doing this? There's a 4 month old on the well known site G-----e in Enfield. They are looking for £20 with (unsuitable) cage so possibly negotiable if you don't want it...

Also one in Chingford, who bites.

Yet another one in East London.

I'd PM you the links, but you don't seem to accept PMs...

[Arraminta]

Oo lg I should accept private messages.. Something may have gone a bit weird..

I will def try to look them up.. Absolutley I have 4 reasonable cages in my loft (good cages just not zoozone2 penthouses) lol... I'll try and pm yu and then see if you can reply as the links would be useful...

Hope all is good with you :0)

Plus.. A hamster that bites isnt a problem!! The formidable cinnamon is a 300g attitude problem!! Im Curing her cage rage whichnis nearly sorted and haven't suffered from her signature move which is a flying ninja bite attack for a while so she could be mellowing

Thanks for that, Minty - have now replied with links
