The main difference for hamster owners in Southern Ontario is that you will pay more but you will have more ready access to specialized vets.
You would be so surprised. I had a problem with a rabbit and got laughed at by one vet... and 3 others had no idea who saw small animals in my area. Closest one was about a half hour away and wanted $245.00 just to see her. I was so offended. waited til the next morning as it was not an emergency and I called the spca and a few small animal rescues to see who they use. Ended up finding one they both recommended but by the time I left his office I was well over $300.00...
