A local pet store near me rehomes returned hamsters, and I would like to adopt one of these instead of buying a baby. (There isn't a reputable breeder near me, or that I could find, but I will keep looking)
Problem is, often they are several months or older, and haven't been socialised or in some cases properly looked after at all.
I've had hamsters and other small pets before, and I'm confident enough caring for them, but this would be different.
Any advice regarding special care, socialising etc?
Thanks
