Meet Mielikki
Mielikki is a very young Syrian with a whole world left to discover. Like many youngsters, she's still learning that people aren't so scary and that new experiences can be exciting rather than frightening.
Right now, she's happiest in the safety of her enclosure, where she feels confident and secure. She'll be looking for a calm, patient home that will let her settle at her own pace and gently build her confidence through positive experiences and plenty of tasty treats.
With time, understanding and a little encouragement, we expect Mielikki's curious personality to shine through. If you're happy to let a hamster develop at her own speed and celebrate every little milestone, Mielikki could be the perfect companion for you.
