Pets in need of homes

Geillis — Petraits Rescue

Geillis is a one-year-old, very handleable and sweet matriarch of a female Syrian hamster looking for a loving guardian.

Geillis appreciates attention from her people, enjoys lots of different foods and treats including unsalted peanuts in the shell, and tiny squares of tofu, flax seeds, spinning on her wheel and flying saucer and exploring her surroundings.

Syrian hamsters live alone in their habitats so it’s important to give her daily attention, and a lot of love.

In captivity, hamsters can run two to five miles in a 24-hour period, and they can store up to one ton of food in their cheeks in a lifetime. It’s fun to watch them hoard food. And, despite how chubby Geillis is, she really loves running on her wheel.

Her adoption fee of $20 benefits the Friends of Petraits Rescue and includes her carrying case.

If you need an entire hamster habitat, 20-gallon long aquarium with lid, paper bedding, food, exercise wheel, hidey castle, flying saucer and water bottle – everything you need including the hamster – the whole package is available for $100.

To meet and possibly adopt Geillis please contact [email protected].

She is being fostered in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood.
