Good advice Snuggleham. Research is vital. You must be fully prepared at home before you can bring a new pet in. Most rescue centres will require a home check before allowing you to adopt a pet so you should be prepared for that minicooper. If and when you do get a new hamster you will need to 'quarantine' it for a couple of weeks away from Hammis. That means keeping it in another room and washing hands well after handling. Guinea pigs and rabbits are not so easy as hamsters to get holiday care for. You can just pop your hamster in the car and take it to its holiday minder where as larger pets need hutches and runs and secure gardens.
