Torn!! Shall I adopt?

[JenAndPikachu]

Sorry this is kinda long, I just wanted to get all the details in...

So I had a job interview this morning, it was right near a Pets at Home so I went in after my interview, could not help myself.
Seen the most beautiful little robo for adoption and I absolutely fell in love!
He looked really really really bored, and I'd hate to think he was gonna be stuck in that little cage for the rest of his life. I was stood watching him for like 15 minutes just internally arguing myself over what to do! I kind of felt like I didn't want to get an animal on impulse, it just seemed irresponsible. Plus, probably more importantly, I traveled there by bus and its like an hour trip including waiting at the bus stop and everything, plus a bus ain't really a nice way to travel. (I was buying a carrier for Pikachu at the time and was thinking for a second 'oh he will be fine in this' but obviously not really)

Sooo, I've been thinking really hard and I have the money, resources, time, space and even have a spare brand new multy duna cage. Plus I can just go in the car to get him.
However, I feel really bad for Pikachu! He is my first and only pet (I kind of have a dog with my boyfriend, named Barkley and hes beautiful) but I don't live with him and hes not really my responsibility), so he's always had all my time and attention.

So basically, would it be wrong to get him? I really don't wanna be sort of impulsive or selfish or anything so I'm just so torn but I really would love to bring him home with me and I believe I could give him a great home.

On the little sign by his cage nothing of illness was mentioned, just that he was old so couldn't be sold.

I kinda wanna act fast in case someone adopts him but really I would be happy just to know he had a forever home.

Here's a little pic I snapped of him when he went bk to sleep..



Please help?
And sorry this was so long :/

I wouldn't feel quilty at all. He's adorable and you'd be giving him the loving home he deserves. If you have the resources like you said, I'd go for it.

Honestly Kiwi was my first pet other than my family dogs and cats. Kiwi is my full responsibility. But after a while I really felt that adding a new addition to the ham fam was the right thing to do! I sorta bought Apple on impulse but I don't have one single regret. She is an amazing little hamster that I couldn't imagine not having her in my life now that I have her. I walked out of the pet store once without here. Thought a bit about it (I to was about an hour away buy via car not bus) and I went right back and picked her up! I saw the box's that they are put in to leave the store and omg it was so tiny! Apple was maybe the size of two $2 Canadian and it was a tiny box for her! Luckily I was prepared though with having a bigger box with shavings, food, and a chew toy. I went to the store not thinking I would actually be walking out with a hamster buy I'm glad that I was prepared! Moral of the story... If you have the time, money, and resources then go for it if you feel like you can handle another hamster!

If you feel you can give him everything he needs I'd go for it, I wouldn't feel bad about Pikachu so long as you have the time you can give them both a loving home & all the attention & care they need & Pikachu won't be missing out at all.
Robos don't generally need much in the way of out of cage time the way Pikachu will do so all you really need is a nice cage for him with lots to do & some attention from you!
