Profile:
Little mama bear is a baby herself, being born in January, she gave birth to a litter of 10 hamster in March, and she is a little trooper for surviving harsh conditions with little to no nutrition during her first few months. When she was discovered and fostered into Hamster Society, we made sure to increase her nutrition with multi vitamin oxbow tablets recommended by the vet, as well as emeraid and cystopro in porridge daily. She loves porridge and boiled eggs and carrots and spinach, given to her at night when she's the most active and usually gone by the time we wake up in the morning.
She is an extreme homebody, she only stays in her hideout most of the day and only comes out to run at night in the dark. She is so gentle and has never bitten or shown signs of aggression in the whole time we have fostered her.
Her fur is so pretty, with most of the body being white and her head being slightly yellow. She is so gentle and even when she takes food from your hand she does it with utmost gentleness.
Do note that because she pees in her hideout, any form of hideout even if acrylic will need to be cleared consistently to remove any pee-soaked bedding and to just make sure this sweet mama bear doesn’t get any UTI!
Please supplement DAILY with high water vegetables/fruit to ensure he pees more, the whole family has bladder issues and this is a preventive measure
