This sounds very similar to a recent poll, asking our opinion about an item for taking hamsters outside, but it could be unrelated.

Hamsters are solitary creatures and my hamsters have never indicated a need to be with me so I wouldn't carry them around in a pouch. I prefer they sleep in the burrows they have made for themselves. That seems more natural.

To carry them a very short distance within a safe, contained indoor area, such as Ria mentioned from cage to free roam space, might be ok, but carrying them around like some people carry puppies or kittens, absolutely not. Plus, one of these pictures has an outdoor setting which would be a definite no-no for their safety. I would not buy it or use it.
