Gretchen
GHR received Gretchen in the middle of April 2025. Gretchen is an 2-month-old, female, cream and tan, short-haired Syrian hamster. The average life-expectancy for this species of hamster is 2-3 years.
Gretchen came 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. Gretchen is a little jumpy right now, but very sweet. She continues to get better about being held. Gretchen absolutely loves to explore her enclosure, burrow, and play with toys!
Gretchen 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.
