For Who?

Anyone who already has a hamster, pet mouse or guinea pig or plans to give one a home is invited to attend. Hands on instruction will be provided. This is an in person class so must live in Tucson, AZ or Surrounding cities. Future classes through zoom may be offered

​

What: 

2 classes are planned: Hamster and Pet Mice care is covered in the first class and Guinea Pig care and keeping is in the 2nd. Preferred class will need to be specified in advance. Each class follows the same format which is:   

     * Rescue tour and introduction

     * Discussion 

     * Hands on learning

     * Question and answer session

     * Closing

 

Class fee is $30 per person. Space is limited to 5 people per class.

 

Note: hamsters and mice are nocturnal so will not be a part of the class, just their cages will be focused on; guinea pigs in the rescue will be part of the hands on learning and care demonstrations. 

​

When:

Every Saturday; Hamster/Mouse proper care classes start at 11 a.m. and finish by 1 p.m. and Guinea Pig care classes start at 2 p.m. and finish by 4 p.m. A registration form for each attendee is required. Open to ages 6 and older, but children under age 18 must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the class. 

 

Where:

At Home Sweet Hammy Home Rescue, Tucson, Arizona. Address will be provided after registration form is received. 

​

Why:

To provide care knowledge due to an increasing need in our community because pet stores and breeders are selling hundreds of hamsters, mice and guinea pigs daily to people who don't know what to do with them or how to care for them.

​
