My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Bento: A Brave Little Girl Waiting for a Heroic Heart 🦸‍♀️🦸‍♂️

Bento is a young, resilient hamster who has already faced more challenges than most in her short life. She was part of a massive rescue effort involving over 200 hamsters, all crammed into overcrowded bins where the sexes were mixed, leading to a constant cycle of litters. Bento and her 14 sisters were some of the youngest among them, narrowly avoiding the same fate as so many others.

Now approximately 3-4 months old, Bento is ready for a fresh start. However, she needs someone special to help her along the way. Growing up in such difficult conditions has left Bento a bit shy and unsure, but she’s open to taming with the right amount of patience and care. Her personality is still developing, and she requires an adopter who is not just looking for a pet but is ready to be a hero in her life.

Bento’s ideal adopter will be someone who understands that she needs time, love, and understanding to build trust. She’s not yet the confident, cuddly hamster she could become, but with gentle, consistent care, Bento has the potential to thrive in a loving home. Adopting Bento means making a real difference in the life of a hamster who might otherwise spend her life in rescue.

We’re adopting Bento out individually to ensure she gets the one-on-one attention she deserves. If you have a patient heart and the willingness to help a little soul like Bento come out of her shell, she’s ready to meet you. Bento’s journey to becoming a happy, confident hamster starts with you—are you ready to be her hero? 🏡💗
