Meet Nimbus!

At about four months old, Nimbus is a sweet little cloud boy with a grey, cloud-coloured coat and gentle ways, sometimes off in his own little world. Demure, calm and observant, he is a little “monk in the city”, quietly discovering human life. He recognises human presence and voices, and will come running or follow your hand. He can be carried without a fuss and curls his hind legs around your fingers like a tiny safety belt.

He enjoys human company, but being interrupted when he’s busy? Please book an appointment with his tiny secretary, especially during cardio!

Food bribery? Nimbus is still deciding what all the fuss is about! He happily eats his seed mix and knows how to crack seeds open. Sunflower seeds have now earned the top spot on his treat list, while he continues to explore the world at his own pace.

He is a semi-clean baby: about 60% of his pees make it into the sand, with the occasional accident on his wheel. Even a sweet little cloud brings a surprise shower, sometimes during cardio!

Nimbus would suit someone who enjoys a gentle, curious companion. He could be a lovely match for a first-time hamster owner who is ready to learn about his needs and commit to caring for him throughout his life. Could this sweet baby cloud find his home with you?
