Buttercup (22 April 2022 - 12 June 2023)

Buttercup is the reason why Holistic Hamster started.  He was my first hamster that got me into proper hamster care.  Thank you Buttercup- I miss you!

Speckles

Speckles inspired me more to advocate for proper hamster care & grow Holistic Hamster.  He had a severe condition of arch back due to a small running wheel.  I had a few months with him & he lived out his last days in the correct habitat setup he deserved.
