The Robos

So we have this hamster that's up for adoption.
Because a while ago he got his foot caught in the wheel and spent like a month with the leg in a cast.
It healed...but now he walks rather funny.

So we have him up for adoption so he can go to a good home.

And today I had two different customers indicate that they wanted him.

Only they didn't 'want' him.
They wanted a hamster.
Specifically his type of hamster which is a robo dwarf.

And since the hamster is up for adoption, that means that we have no return policy for him if things don't work out.

And knowing that a lot of people are buying pets for funsies currently.
I wanted to make sure he would go to a good home that would still be able to take care of him when the crazy goes away.

The first customer was getting a hamster for their sibling as a gift.

So I redirected them to a different robo dwarf cage.
As I don't think it's a good idea to give a 'special' hamster to someone as a gift if they're not expecting it. 

The second customer was a family with a child who were eager to have a pet...but struck me as first time pet owners and therefore, probably weren't prepared to care for a 'special' hamster.

So again, I redirected them to a different robo dwarf cage --actually the same cage as before as when it became empty I brought out another hamster to take it's spot. And then ended up bringing out another hamster to fill the spot again when I sold the second one.

So yah.
Sold two hamsters.
But avoided adopting out the adoptable hamster to ill-prepared pet parents.

Hopefully the adoptable hamster will find his forever home soon.
