All questions contained in this questionnaire are strictly confidential
and are used to find the correct hamster for you.

At Moonbeam Hamstery we try to make sure each hamster we adopt out is going to the correct home, that not only fit his or her needs but yours as well! Our policy is to ensure that our hamsters go to homes where they will be loved and properly cared for. For this reason we make sure that each person who adopts one of our hamsters, is capable of and willing to accept the responsibilities of ownership. If you are prepared to make a commitment to one of our hamsters, please take the time to complete this questionnaire so that we can match you with a hamster that best suits your needs, experience and lifestyle. In some cases, more than one application is received for the adoption of a particular hamster. The decision is then with MB as to which application is the most suitable for the hamster in question. If the hamster you apply has been adopted out to someone else, MB can, upon request, try to help you find another suitable hamster to adopt. No guarantee can be given that a suitable hamster can be sourced. Check as we update it weekly. Please note you must be over 18 to adopt a hamster and if you’re not we must speak with a parent or guardian. When you come to pick up your little one we will not adopt him or her out if you do not have a parent or guardian Please fill out this questionnaire. Thank you!
