OUR MISSION, ETHICS & GOALS
OUR MISSION

99% of the hamsters in Singapore are unethically bred, and we strive to change that.
OUR ETHICS
OUR HAMSTERS ARE PETS FIRST,
BREEDERS SECOND.

3-part diet consisting of organic, premium grade seed mixes, lab blocks and fresh fruits and vegetables.
No dangerous bedding such as pine wood or cotton bedding used.
Large potty of minimum 20 cm with unscented sand.
​
Breeding:
All hamsters come with Pedigree
Adherence to both IHANA & OHC Codes of Ethics in all breeding & Care.
Only healthy hamsters will be bred, when they are ready.
No hamster will be rehomed prior 6 weeks old, to maximise cognitive learning between siblings.
OUR GOALS
IMPROVEMENT OF THE SYRIAN HAMSTER SPECIES IN SINGAPORE
Health:
Longevity: Syrian hamsters typically live around 18 months in Singapore, we hope to improve their lifespan to 2-4 years.
Genetic Defects: In the last 2 years, genetic defects such as Star Gazing Syndrome have been arising due to the poor genetic pool caused by unethical breeders and pet mills. Hence, we strive to keep our lines pure and free from such genetic defects.
​
Temperament:
Cuddly: All our hamsters are #Cuddle Muffins with us, and we are elated for that to extend to their new families as well.
Calm: All our hamster are handled the moment their eyes opened, thus they are used to human touch. However, we breed selectively to improve their natural temperament being calm to human touch - and we have been successful thus far!
​
Type:
Head: Equilateral as per NHC and CHA standards.
Size: Broad body with little to no excess fats as per NHC and CHA standards.
Weight: International average for pet store/unethically bred hamsters range from 100g to 140g, whilst the international average for ethical breeders range from 150g to 300g. Currently, 90% of our hamsters sit on 150g to 230g - we aim to improve 100% above 150g.
​
Color:
Yellow: We are the first hamstery in Singapore producing cream-free syrian hamsters, and we hope to maintain the purity in the line.
Black: We are in the process of eradicating Silver Grey from our lines, in an effort to make our black as dark and true.
Hence our hamsters will be mainly a mixture of these two colors.
