Meet Sasha, my foster hamster! She is SO precious.
She is a big sweet girl with a gorgeous plush coat. She is shy and not sure about being friends with people yet. Sasha was surrendered to the rescue with her brother and two sisters. She’s the last one waiting for a home! She loves tunneling and running on her wheel.
If you live in Minnesota and you’re interested in adopting Sasha, here is her petfinder ad.
hello? beast?
She did not like being weighed and instead screamed at me… I’m sorry baby!!! Luckily we got it over with quickly and then she got to go back to her cozy enclosure and she immediately started foraging for snacks.
ohhhh help she’s so cute. Meet Rat! She’s my second foster hamster, I picked her up today from her old owner who loves her very much but unfortunately can’t keep her anymore.
Rat is in her initial quarantine right now but will eventually be available for adoption through Tiny Whiskers Animal Rescue in Minnesota. If you are interested in Rat or any of the other hamsters at the rescue, email [email protected]
*That’s her in the carrier on the way home! Not her actual home!
tub time for Rat did not go as planned
Can we drop the idea that if a pet isn’t a dog or cat it’s not worthy of love? People who own these pets - fish, amphibians, reptiles, insects, birds, small mammals - love their animals just as much as cat and dog owners love theirs. They put just as much attention and love and care into their animals as dog and cat owners put into theirs.
I have cats, but I’ve also had hamsters, fish, invertebrates, insects, frogs, and bunnies. Currently I keep axolotls and a crested gecko in addition to my cats. The amount of people who act like my axolotls and gecko don’t exist, or aren’t “real” pets compared to my cats, is nuts. I’ve had people tell me my pets are gross, ugly, disgusting, slimy. I’ve had them harass me over their food being gross or disgusting or slimy. I’ve had people tell me my pets should just be released into the woods rather than me spending money on their care, or ask me why I bother taking them to the vet, or “joke” about eating them. I’ve had some flat out tell me they shouldn’t be alive or taking up space in the house or life. When they died, I’ve had people ask me why I’m sad or tell me I shouldn’t be.
What the fuck is wrong with you? These are my pets and I love them just as much as my cats. When I worked at a pet store, I heard all the same sentiments expressed by customers. That’s fucking disgusting.
Look, if someone has a pet you don’t vibe with, just don’t fucking interact with that pet. If you’re afraid of dogs and your friend is telling you about something their dog did, do you interrupt and say “Your dog should be killed?” Why do people think this is acceptable behavior if the animal isn’t a dog or cat?
Fucking support people and what they love. My best friend keeps tarantulas, which I am terrified of. The only thing I’ve ever said about it is not to text me pictures of them. I let her gush about them because even though they’re not my cup of tea, she LOVES them. It’s not that fucking hard. If you can’t even do that, NICELY tell the person, “Hey I don’t really like X, can we talk about something else?”
Don’t fucking tell them their pets should die or not be alive and don’t insult the animal just because you don’t like them.
Every pet is a valid pet. Don’t be a dick.
are you feeling kinda sad? here is a sleepy boi
what’s that quote from friday night lights? “clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose”
☁️ literally the cutest ears☁️

A little while ago, I had to say goodbye to my sweet Bucky Bear. He got a cold this week, and even with meds from the vet and lots of TLC from me, he just couldn’t shake it due to his age. He was almost 2 years old, so at least that means he lived a long and full life for a hamster. I’m a complete mess right now without my best friend. But I’m happy to have so many incredible memories of all our cuddles, anime binges, and other adventures together. I’m so lucky this little squirt was part of my life. Rest in peace James Buchanan Barnes… I’m going to miss you so, so much.
