Hamsters need anaesthetic for an ultrasound and many vets don't have the equipment to accurately focus at such a close depth (even the cat ones don't give great pictures). Syrian hamster gestation is only 16 days so it's safer to wait and see than have the risk of an anaesthetic just to see if a hamster is pregnant.
