Meet Sofia
Sofia is a gentle, sweet-natured Syrian who enjoys the simple things in life. She's always happy to accept a tasty treat and gentle strokes, and is most content relaxing in the comfort of her enclosure.
Unlike some hamsters, Sofia isn't keen on leaving her enclosure for playpen or free roam sessions. She's currently fostered in a Medium Eco World, so she'll need an enclosure of the same size or larger in her forever home to ensure she isn't downgraded.
While Sofia is calm and settled in her environment, she's still building her confidence with handling and will benefit from a patient adopter who is happy to let her progress at her own pace. With kindness, consistency and plenty of treats, we're confident she'll continue to grow in confidence.
If you're looking for a laid-back companion who prefers a peaceful life over big adventures, Sofia could be the perfect addition to your home.
