Our Goals

  • We strive to provide an ethical & alternative adoption option for dwarf hamster lovers to adopt Winter Whites in the US (since all other ethical breeders in America breed only the Syrian species.)

  • We hope to bring awareness to proper enriching hamster care and lessen the amount of hamsters adopted from chain pet stores.

  • We prioritize breeding the calmest, and friendliest hamsters as this will benefit the domesticated species in the long term.

Our Breeding Ethics

 

  • Our hamsters are kept in the same size enclosures we recommend to our adopters, with over 500+ square inches of floorspace.

  • Our adult hamsters all have an 8-10 inch wheel, non-scented paper bedding, sand bath, dig boxes and an assortment of enrichments in their enclosure at all times!

  • Our adult hamsters are fed our Homemade Confetti Seed Mix with over 30 ingredients every evening.

  • Our hamsters are only bred between the ages of 4 months - 1 year, only allowing each mother to have only 2-3 litters, and then they are retired out to an adopter to live an amazing rest of their life, or stay at the hamstery as one of my personal hamsters.

  • Our hamstery follows the CHA and OHC's code of ethics as a guideline in both our care and breeding practices.

  • Our hamstery upholds the ethical and husbandry standards we require of our adopters. Learn more by visiting our ‘Enclosure Requirements Page’.

Disclaimer: There are many circumstances when an ethical breeder will remove a hamster’s sand bath, wheel, and some enrichments, along with only providing 2-3 inches of bedding. This can appear like improper care, when it is actually safest, due to the circumstances at hand. Whether they are in a health monitoring enclosure, or are 4-8 week old pups being tamed, or a postpartum mother, life will look different for them in certain seasons of life and that is what is MOST ethical, to adapt based on the hamsters needs in every situation.
