We gotta talk about this old dude! This is Teddy! 🐻 Teddy was dumped at an LA Shelter when his “family” moved away. The kicker? This guy is almost 2 years old 🤦♀️ That’s geriatric in the hamster world! We took this old guy in a little while ago with the intention of rehoming him to understanding new parents, but he didn’t get adopted right away. At this point, Teddy is just too old to go to a new home and he has stolen our hearts completely anyway. So, we’re committed to providing him with tons of love, a huge cage, and access to any medical care that might come up as he ages. ❤️ Why am I telling you all this? Because this is what #animalrescue and #ethicalbreeding is about. Everything we do is in the best interest of the animals and we take full responsibility for their well-being—no matter what, no matter where they come from, no matter how long that may be, and with the understanding that sometimes their care plan has to change. We love Teddy and see each and every day with him as a precious gift. 🥰 Please officially welcome Teddy into the Cheeks and Squeaks family (non-breeding side of course). We are happy to have him! #cheeksandsqueakshams #adorablehamsters #teddybear https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjVtrYnWcK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pi41pyaq53ti
