Treasured Paws Hamster Rescue, Hook (2026)

31/05/2025

Taco is a gorgeous male Syrian who arrived at the rescue 12/05. Taco is around 1 year old and spent the first year of his life with little to no interaction with his humans which has left him a little flighty and nervous around unexpected noises or movements.

As well as our usual rehoming requirements we have a few specific requests from a new home which we hope will help Taco have the best chance at settling with his new family.

* A barless enclosure
* A quiet area in the home for his enclosure to live - somewhere like a home office or spare bedroom where he can have lots of downtime without noises disturbing him.
*No children under 15 in the home.

We know this may be a lot to ask, but we promise Taco is worth it. Despite his start in life, he has become so engaging and interactive with us over the last month. He happily takes treats and lets us give him strokes while he eats them. Free roam time has been a game changer in his confidence and he will come on cue to the front of the enclosure to be lifted out for some playtime. He's very inquisitive and likes to come out of his burrow box to investigate when he hears you in the room.

In the right home we think Taco will continue to thrive and become the best companion to someone offering him the time and patience he needs to grow his confidence.

If you think you could be the right fit for Taco we would love to hear from you.

Our full adoption criteria and terms can be found on our website.

Today I have the greatest pleasure of officially introducing you all to our latest rescue recruit, Taco.

Let me start by saying this little lad has stolen my heart 💖 Taco was surrendered by his old family after their child was bitten and lost confidence in spending time with Taco. He is around a year old and sadly his first year of life was spent in a small enclosure with little to no enrichment or stimulation. Taco also was not offered human interaction which has left him fairly flighty around hands.

Taco spent a few weeks in the foster care of the lovely Elise Bishop before arriving with me, and even after having some time to decompress in the very safe hands of someone who understands what hamsters need and how to interact with them Taco was still showing very obvious signs of trauma.

95% of the time Taco responds really positively. He comes out of his home to see what I’m doing, comes to me seeking snacks, he’s had some really positive free roams and even climbs out the door of the bucatstate onto my arms. The other 5% however is a real concern for Taco’s welfare as when something does spook him it sends him bounding off every surface in his enclosure until he finds a spot he feels safe.

Because of this, Taco is going to be on extended R’n’R with me before I think about the kind of home he may need once he’s ready.

Please follow along for Taco’s journey and hopefully in the coming weeks we will be able to report back with some progress as he comes out of his shell and starts to feel the safety and love we have to offer him.

Welcome to the rescue buddy, we’ve got you 🤍

Sweet Cassius went off to his forever home over the weekend and I've already had a lovely little update of him enjoying a cosy corner of his new enclosure. I know he is going to make the best companion to his new family once he's settled in properly.

And with Cassius leaving, our syrian enclosure has had a quick turnaround ready for the next hamster already waiting for a spot with us. Watch this space as he will be collected tonight and I will introduce him over the next few days.

Not the update I thought I would be bringing you all but one I am extremely pleased about! It is my pleasure to confirm both Cassius and Jude have been reserved to go to their forever homes.

It is rare that we have such an easy and pleasurable time placing hamsters with their new forever families but it has been a dream for these guys.

Jude will be leaving us tonight to join a wonderful mama who's already experienced in caring for dwarf hamsters. Cassius is still a little too young to go to a new home and will stay a couple more weeks giving his new family time to make his new home perfect.

We will miss them both when they are gone but cannot wait to see them thriving with their new families 💛

Today we took in a special little fella. Please welcome Cassius to the rescue.

Cassius was part of a big hoarding case that has been handled by several rescues throughout the country over the last month. He was a tiny little pinky when he, along with his mum and litter mates were moved to the safety of a rescue. Now at 6 weeks old it was time for Cassius to have his own enclosure away from his brothers and we were happy to offer him up a space.

Cassius isn’t going to be available to adopt until he’s at least 8 weeks old although he may stay a little longer depending on his progress.

Keep following along to hear more about Cassius and the loving forever home he’s looking for over the next few weeks.

Sometimes, life takes unexpected turns and for Jude, a hybrid dwarf hamster, that meant a change in circumstances that led him to be surrendered to a rescue. Originally thought to be a girl, Jude’s gender reveal came as a surprise...he’s actually a boy!

At around 10-11 months old, Jude was tiny when he arrived, weighing in at only 38g. We’re already working on helping him gain a little weight with a carefully balanced diet.

Jude is currently in his quarantine period, so he isn’t quite ready for adoption just yet. But stay tuned for updates on his progress and personality as he continues to settle in. In time, we’ll share more about the special home he’s looking for, and when he’s ready, we’ll be excited to find him the perfect match!

Hi Everyone! We have been somewhat absent from our page since Wilfred went to his forever home at the end of December. Since then we have been taking the opportunity to spend lots of time with our resident hamsters Flóki & Albus and thought we would take a moment to introduce you to them.

Flóki is a male Roborovski and arrived at the rescue back in October with his brother Wilfred. Flóki is an aloof little guy and whilst he is by no means a ghost hamster he has let us know he very much prefers to live life without human companionship. We don't mind though as he is buckets of fun to watch and we love seeing him enjoy his fabulous double eco enclosure and all the enrichment it has to offer.

Albus is the first hamster we have adopted from another rescue Indias Hamster Rescue UK. When they posted him looking for a new home in December I jumped at the chance to adopt him. Hybrid dwarf hamsters have always had a very special place in my heart and whilst Albi had giant shoes to fill with so many special dwarfs coming before him he's filled the role perfectly & we couldn't love him more.

** Magnus has found his forever home **

Magnus has been at the rescue for just under 2 months now patiently waiting for a family to call his own. Magnus is looking for a special kind of home because he needs his new family to understand that he doesn't enjoy being held by human hands, something which is proving a sticking point whilst trying to match him.

Magnus is such a relaxed and happy boy in his enclosure. His favourite pass time is running on his wheel and whilst he will accept some free roam time (via the hands free taxi) he's just as happy in his enclosure.

Magnus loves to interact with the adult humans in the house and when he knows we are nearby he runs to the spots he knows we can pet him or where he has easy access to take a snack from us, which he's so incredibly gentle at.

Magnus is looking for an adult home where he can be showered with love...at arms length.

All our rescues are rehomed with a settling in pack which contains 2 weeks of getzoo hamster food, some hand feeding treats, some forage and a whimzee along with any disposable items like sprays and chews they have in their enclosure. He will need an enclosure of at least 100x50cm floorspace, a 28cm+ wheel and lots of enrichment for him to enjoy. Full adoption criteria can be found on our website.

** Rollo, now Wilfred, has found his forever home **

Rollo is the most precious 6-7 month male Roborovski. He arrived at the rescue with his brother who he was cohoused with. As we see with most cohoused hamsters he needed some time to decompress initially but once he realised he was in a safe place he began to explore. Within a week Rollo was already taking food from my hand.

Like with most roborovski's Rollo is extremely fast so we are looking for an adult home for him who can be confident in their interactions.

Rollo will need a 100x50cm enclosure, 20cm+ wheel and lots of enrichment to keep him entertained. Please check out our adoption essentials on our website for our full adoption requirements.

Please welcome sweet Magnus who was surrendered to the rescue last Monday. As you can see from his photos he’s the most stunning little man. He is however painfully shy and any kind of handling is a big no no for now.

Magnus loves running on his wheel and can run almost non stop from 8pm to 5am with just a few cat naps to keep him going. He ran just under 14 miles last night alone 🏃💨

He’s a little guy under all that fur weighing in at around 116g which for an adult Syrian is small but hopefully with a nice selection of sprays, treats and a healthy food mix we can help him gain some weight although we suspect it's likely he's just running off everything he eats!

Magnus will stay with us for another week of observation before he starts the search for his forever family.

Our final piece of exciting news is that we are now finally up and running with the Treasured Paws HR website.

It can be tough for new perspective owners to get to grips with all the things they may need to understand and purchase before they can adopt their new hamster so the website has been created with this in mind and has pictures and links to all the relevant safe supplies you may need.

Some of the thing you can expect to find on the website:

⭐️An adoption essentials page which breaks down the bare essentials needed prior to adoption day.

⭐️Pages with links to safe cages, wheels, substrates, enrichment and foods.

⭐️Enclosure inspiration sharing lots of fabulous cages from likeminded hamster lovers.

⭐️Details on our adoption application process and adoption form.

⭐️Hamsters we currently have that are looking for their forever home.

We hope the new site will help to streamline the adoption process and offer inspiration to anyone looking to explore species appropriate hamster care.
