I would write a formal letter of complaint to the Pet Shop and send a copy to the RSPCA. Formal as in - don't do an emotional rant in the letter - keep it very businesslike - your Dad can help write it. In the letter, explain that you found two dead baby hamsters stuck to sticky mats used for pest control in X store and request that they cease to use this method of pest control which has led to suffering for a baby hamster. That you accept that sometimes hamsters escape but this would have been a slow and lingering death and inhumane. Request that they improve the security of their hamster cages, pointing out that baby roborovski hamsers are very small and escape through bar spacing and should be kept in tanks at all times. Ask for an assurance that they will deal with this matter and write back to you.

Type your name/s at the bottom and sign above them and put cc RSPCA place name at the bottom.

I think you will get a very quick response.
