Okay, there's this really good shelter near us that is fabulous for dogs and cats. But they're expanding their main shelter and have started taking in and adopting out small animals, including hamsters. They don't know much about hamsters as seen by me when we last visited about 6 or 7 months ago and saw hamsters in small cages.

Today while browsing through PetFinder, I find they have several hamsters listed. I looked at one of the postings of baby hamsters with a pic of a mother Syrian with some young babies and am shocked to see their age listed as TWO WEEKS! There was nothing there saying if they will be available at 5 weeks or available now.

I rushed off to my email to plead with them not to sell the babies until at least 5 weeks of age and to explain hamster care to them. I'm looking over the email now to see if anything needs to be added.
