Hamsty Mail Club

Subscribe to our Mail Club to receive Mystery Packs with art prints, information, creative activities and gifts each month. Every pack is made around a seasonal theme and will include the Hamsty Newsletter which will reveal the mystery behind the main art print and share the stories of rescued animals.

Hamsty Mail Club supports our mission of advocating online and fostering hamsters, but also it supports my art in the era of computer rendered artificial pictures (AI).

About us

Small animals often suffer from depression, neglect and overbreeding. Due to their size they are perceived as "cute" and "easy" despite requiring a natural habitat designed at home and advanced veterinary care.

With our scientific backgrounds (Master of Neuroscience Research, Master of Chemistry), our approach is to analyse scientific evidence and present it in a useful, meaningful way.
