Fun-Loving Chilly Would Make Great First Pet

The hamster is up for adoption at the Animal Rescue League of Boston's Dedham shelter.

My name is Chilly and I am a female Syrian hamster. I am 2 months old and super cute. I have been handled since I was born and I'm well socialized, friendly, sweet, and playful.

I will make a great first pet and companion. I love to run on my wheel, explore in my exercise ball, and hang out with people. I enjoy treats like carrots, lettuce, cucumbers, and popcorn. My teeth never stop growing so I will need chew sticks to keep them trim.

I am ready to go home and be your new best friend!

Please keep in mind that hamsters are solitary animals so they can not live in a cage with another hamster. They are also fragile and small children should be supervised while handling and playing.

They require their cage completely changed and cleaned at least once a week. If you are interested in adopting Chilly please call at 781-326-0729 or stop by and visit with her!
