I know exactly where you're coming from because i also bought one as a baby from a pet shop and have adopted two. I had discussions with people before who stated that buying from a pet shop supports irresponsible breeding which may be so but this does not help all the little hamsters already for sale in pet shops. They are entitled to a good life too and why shouldn't they be one of the lucky ones who end up with the likes of us.

I don't think it matters where a hamster comes from because they are all deserving little individuals in need of a good home.
