Cupcake Would Make Great First Pet

Cupcake, a young Syrian hamster, is up for adoption at the Dedham shelter.

My name is Cupcake and I am a 7-week-old female Syrian hamster available for adoption.

My mom was surrendered to because the owners had too many hamsters. I was born in foster care and have four brothers and sisters!

I am sweet and I am learning that being held is a good thing. I am very active at night since I am nocturnal, and will run on my wheel while you sleep.

I am living with my two sisters but, should be in my own cage as an adult. Syrian hamsters are solitary animals and should never be kept in the same cage.

I am super cute and easy to care for and would also make a good first pet.
