Essex Breeding Centre-Is This Just Another Hamster Farm Or Mill?

[Freda]

or are Essex Breeding Centre proper breeders?Why I ask is because our local petshop says they have all their hamsters from Essex & that they are really good-having healthy stocks of hamsters.

They cant be proper breeders surely 'cause breeders usaully handtame their hamsters before selling them-which leads me to think this place is just another breeding farm or Mill-whats the difference between a breeding farm and a Mill-are they both the same? and is it true what i hear about animals arent treated very well?

Are Pets At Home also supplied from Essex Breeding Centre?Doesnt any petshop sell hamsters that come from proper breeders that are already handtamed?

It's a rodent farm. No reputable breeder would supply places like Pets at Home.

They're certainly not NHC registered.

I found this thread upon searching them: Hamster Breeders in the UK.

Never heard of them?

My pet shops use them too.

I think the name "Breeding Centre" gives it away that they're a rodent farm/mill (yes, they're the same thing).
