Not something that i would buy myself but saying that, i have carried my hamster in a handbag for his own safety because he got excited and wriggly when i tried to carry him to a room for free roaming.

As long as the hamster wants to stay in this pouch and the person carrying him is sitting down and then opens the flap i think its ok but i don't think a hamster should be carried and bounced about with the flap zipped up for more than a transfer purpose like my handbag.

Danger here is that some people may misuse this item by trapping a hamster for their own satisfaction and against his will, especially a hamster who doesn't enjoy being handled.
