Are there animal rescue centres where you live?
I couldn't find a breeder locally when i wanted to get a hamster and it had never ocurred to me to check the small ads for unwanted hamsters or i would have adopted one. I found out and joined HC after buying my hamster.
The small independent pet shop houses them in bigger display cabinets but it was closed that day. Patience was never my forte so i went straight to pets@home shop which had loads of hamsters.
What really gets me is the tiny cages petshops are allowed to sell! There should be a law against it and i don't understand why the RSPCA doesn't do anything about it.
Rant over and sorry for the outburst.

I am on the lookout and hope that someone will post an advert. I totally agree...I guess selling bigger cages costs more and takes up more space and people can't sell hamsters in mass that way. It's very upsetting and the RSPCA should do something about it.
