Yuki

Female · Young · 3 years

The little Yuki came into our care after her partner unfortunately passed away. Here, we see her as a curious little mouse who doesn't particularly enjoy being handled but loves to escape from her cage. Yuki is looking for a species-appropriate home with at least one partner and a cage with tunnels, hiding spots, and enrichment items like branches to gnaw on. The right substrate should also be considered – as Yuki likes to build solid tunnels, it should be at least 40 cm deep. The minimum requirements regarding the size of the accommodation and the right type of substrate can be found here. Under supervision, Yuki can enjoy free roam in the room. However, all potential hazards such as cables or poisonous plants must be removed. Since mice are not cuddly but rather observation animals, they prefer to spend time with their fellow animals rather than with humans. Yukis diet includes seeds, fresh hay daily, and occasionally animal protein like dried shrimp and branches for tooth wear. The food Yuki would like to earn – as in nature – can be hidden in paper tubes or similar items.

Die kleine Yuki kam in unsere Obhut, nachdem ihr Partnertier leider verstarb. Hier erleben wir sie als neugierige kleine Maus, die sich zwar nicht gerne anfassen lässt, es jedoch liebt, aus ihrem Käfig auszubrechen. Yuki sucht ein artgemäßes Zuhause mit mindestens einem Partnertier und einem Käfig mit Tunneln, Rückzugsmöglichkeiten und Beschäftigungsmöglichkeiten wie Ästen zum Zernagen. Auch auf die richtige Einstreu sollte geachtet werden – da Yuki feste Tunnel bauen möchte, sollte diese mindestens 40 cm tief sein. Die Mindestanforderungen bezüglich der Maße der Unterbringung und die richtige Art der Einstreu finden Sie hier. Unter Aufsicht kann Yuki Freilauf im Zimmer genießen. Dabei muss darauf geachtet werden, dass alle Gefahrenquellen wie Kabel oder Giftpflanzen entfernt werden. Da es sich bei Mäusen nicht um Kuschel-, sondern Beobachtungstiere handelt, verbringen sie lieber Zeit mit ihren Artgenossen als mit uns Menschen. Auf Yukis Speiseplan stehen Sämereien, täglich frisches Grünfutter, gelegentlich tierisches Eiweiß wie getrocknete Garnelen und Äste von Bäumen zur Zahnabnutzung. Das Futter möchte Yuki sich – wie in der Natur – gerne erarbeiten: Dafür kann es in Pappröhren oder Ähnlichem versteckt werden.

About Yuki

What life with Yuki looks like

Yuki is a young adult animal waiting at Tierheim Hamburg in Hamburg.

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

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Yuki, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Yuki?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Hamburg handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Yuki on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Yuki if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Hamburg will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Yuki already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most animals on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Yuki 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 Tierheim Hamburg early rather than rehoming privately; they know Yuki 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 (DE). 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.
