Evelyn

Female · Young · 1 year

Background Meet Evelyn, a single female gerbil. Evelyn came to Raystede due to conflict with other species in the home and losing her gebril companions. She is ready to start the search for a new compatible friend. Evelyn loves burrowing in her deep bedding and making cosy nests and tunnels. She is quite shy however she has started to become braver and venture out in curiosity when staff are around, popping out to say hello. Ideal Home Evelyn would prefer a quiet home with previous experience with gerbils. She requires a home with another single female gerbil. Children Evelyn is super duper quick and wriggly so must only be handled by experienced adults/older teens. Could live with calm, older teenagers. Must not be handled by vsiiting children. Other animals: Evelyn is looking for a home with another female gerbil. Must be kept separate from any other animals in the home. Additional needs: A quiet and calm adopter with a patient and understanding nature who would love to enjoy watching her digging and burrowing to her hearst content! An enclosure of at least 100cm x 50cm x 50cm (bigger is always recommended if possible) with lots of digging space, foraging opportunities and plenty of enrichment to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. If you are interested in adopting the beautiful Evelyn, please complete an online application form.

About Evelyn

What life with Evelyn looks like

Evelyn is a young adult animal waiting at Raystede Centre in Ringmer.

Every animal has their own temperament and history. The shelter knows Evelyn far better than any listing can convey — ask about daily routine, ideal household, and what kind of adopter they're hoping for.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

Paperwork, vet checks and transport rules differ by species and by country. Ask the shelter what is included and what you will need to arrange before you commit.

Frequently asked

Adopting Evelyn, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Evelyn?: Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Raystede Centre handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Evelyn on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Evelyn if I live in another country?: Sometimes. Whether a animal can move between countries depends on the species and the rules in both countries, and some species need permits or have restrictions. Ask Raystede Centre what paperwork and transport they require, and check the import rules of your country before you commit.
Is Evelyn already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?: What a animal comes with (vet checks, vaccinations, identification, paperwork) varies by shelter and species. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask Raystede Centre directly what is included and what Evelyn still needs.
What happens if Evelyn isn't the right fit?: Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Raystede Centre early rather than rehoming privately; they know Evelyn and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?: TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
