Diamond is a five-week-old, wiggly but sweet and fun female golden hamster baby looking for a loving guardian.

Diamond is learning to appreciate attention from her people, lots of different foods and treats including tofu, unsalted whole peanuts, broccoli, spinning on her wheel and exploring her surroundings.

Golden hamsters live alone in their habitats so it’s important to give daily attention and love.

Since this is a baby, she will need patient daily handling and socialization to tame, so she will be gentle and not afraid of humans.

Her adoption fee of $15 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue. If you need an entire hamster habitat, 20 gallon long aquarium with lid, bedding, food, exercise wheel, hidey castle and water bottle – everything you need including the hamster – the whole package is available for $75.

Diamond is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
