Hamster Story by Hannah Gilbert
Author: Hannah GilbertSource: www.hamster-club.com
My rescue hamster is called John and was adopted from Furry Friends
Animal Rescue in Surrey. John and some other hamsters were handed in to
the rescue from their previous home on Christmas Eve 2011.
I then
adopted him in February 2012.
I hadn't had a pet in many years and decided I would like to have a
hamster again.
I chose John because I would only ever have a rescue pet,
and because he was "less adoptable" - as he was already an adult and
white with red eyes, which are unpopular.
I don't understand why
red eyed rodents are unpopular, 
because I think
he is beautiful!John has made my life so much better and I'm so glad I adopted him. He
has his own Facebook page with over 600 'fans' who love to see his
pictures and updates.
John's page is also used to network other rescue
animals, promote rescues and "less adoptable pets" and to raise funds
for Furry Friends where he was adopted from.
