Meet Lyra, a stunning female Syrian hamster who takes her role as an architectural critic very seriously, and her favourite pastime is the glorious, satisfying destruction of any cardboard carrot cottage placed in her path.

Lyra thrives on boredom breakers and having a busy enclosure setup to keep her occupied, along with nightly free roam sessions. While she enjoys supervised free-roam time and is excellent with being handled, don't expect a sleepy lap pet—Lyra is far too busy exploring and assessing her domain to sit still for more than a second.

A quick way to her heart is through her stomach, specifically a generous spray of flax, chicken or other tasty treats, which she considers the ultimate reward after a hard night of demolition.

If you are looking for a fun-to-watch, friendly hamster, Lyra could be the girl for you!
