GBH Rescue and Re-homing is based in
Beckenham, Kent. Specialising in small animals there is always a
constant flow of hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and other small animals who
all need their help. Many have come from people who, for whatever
reason, have decided they can no longer look after their pet, others come
from people who bought a 'boy' and they later produced babies, and sadly
many come via other rescue centres or the RSPCA because of neglect or
cruelty. GBH does not receive any funding and
relies completely on donations of both time and money.
NEWS UPDATE
GBH Rescue and Rehoming are currently looking for
homes for the following hamsters:
A Syrian male and his 7 babies (estimate 5 - 6
weeks old) were found abandoned in a recycling bin. The dad and 4 boys
are looking for homes - it looks as though none have been handled much,
therefore experienced homes are needed. The 3 girls will be ready for homing
in a few weeks time once it has been confirmed they are not pregnant.
The hamsters are a variety of colours.
Two female big brown bears approximately 6 months
old
Sable male and dove male, both born on 21 April -
these two need handling
Very pretty Dom Spot Syrian - approximately 6
weeks old - is nervous and has never been handled, but will probably tame
with daily handling by an experienced hamster owner.
5 week old males: golden short haired banded,
Cinnamon long haired banded, golden long haired. All reasonably easy
to handle.
6 month old sable short haired female - needs
taming.
Golden banded short haired male - 8-9 weeks old
Sable short haired male - born 21 April
Two Sable banded females - both had to have legs
amputated upon arrival at GBH Rescue and Rehoming due to injuries they
received when with their previous owner. Both hamsters are friendly,
very active and love escaping - therefore extra special care needs to be
taken to ensure they don't escape. They can't have wheels because of
their missing legs, however, they can have plenty of climbing frames, and a
run in an exercise ball.
Two 12 week old sable females - both need taming
Five daughters and their mum - variety of colours
- all very friendly and tame - girls approximately 6 weeks old.
Five Robo females
One crazy sapphire winter white - cries a lot if
you go near her cage!
Mum and litter will need re-homing in one weeks
time when the babies are 6 weeks old. One male dove banded, one cream
banded, two dove females, one dove banded female and cinnamon banded mum.
All of them are friendly and tame.

home, please contact Jacky on 020

XFactor:
Many people will have been surprised when they watched the Xtra Factor
programme on ITV2 on Friday 2 December that it featured hamsters - these were provided for
filming by GBH. It should be pointed out that no hamster was
harmed in any way during the filming of this programme. All the
hamsters who appeared on the programme have since been homed, but if you are interested in homing a
hamster there are always plenty more available.
