Alvin
GHR received Alvin in the middle of April 2025. Alvin is an 1-month-old, male, cream and tan, short-haired Syrian hamster. The average life-expectancy for this species of hamster is 2-3 years.
Alvin was surrendered to GHR when a female hamster named Lucky was surrendered to GHR and surprise surprise - she was pregnant! Lucky gave birth to 9 healthy hamster pups. This is one of the three boys from her litter! Alvin is very curious, right now he is a little shy and jumpy, but he is getting less nervous as he gets older. Alvin loves his wheel, and loves to dig in his sand!
Alvin comes with an enclosure containing all necessary items, one bag of paper-based bedding, one bag of food, and one bag of sand.
The adoption fee is $50.
An additional suggested donation of $50 to $75 is recommended to cover food, bedding, sand, and enclosure materials.
