[Vectis Hamstery]

My hamsters only go outside in carriers for travel. I wouldn't let them roam on the grass even in a playpen as I know my area has roundworm, lungworm and fluke - the poor wild hedgehog that I took to a rescue as it was too small to be out in winter died of a massive infestation of these pests. My hamsters aren't preventatively wormed so won't be interacting with the outside ground.
