I completely understand what you say about not wanting to support pet shops and possible bad breeding practices. But I think it's reasonable to compromise here with the current situation. Travelling long distance isn't particularly safe for you right now. And I also feel the need for another hamster after losing one - it helps you move on.
When I have been in this situation there never seem to be any rehoming options when I look - I think places like Gumtree are still very quiet. I travelled a long way just to adopt a hamster from a rescue last year as there was nothing close to me - but that was when the world was normal!
Assume you have a large pet store like Pets at Home nearby, and they do have an adoption section - go and get yourself a hamster - you will give them a good home x |
Yes I've used there adoption section before! It's a really crappy time and it's been so hard to be in a lockdown with no furry friend
thanks for the advice!
