Adoption process
Why adopt from us? We are the only breeders in Canada specializing in purebred Winter White hamsters. By adopting from us, you are guaranteed to receive a high-quality hamster, handled daily and raised according to strict, species-specific standards. Our hamsters are therefore healthier and more sociable than those sold in pet stores. What you get: A pedigreed hamster from bloodlines carefully selected over several generations for health and temperament. Lifetime support for your pet. A return guarantee if you can no longer keep your hamster.
