Thanks! Before the pandemic, I did pet art at some pet stores as well as different events. This was one of the pieces I did for it (a friend, one of the store managers bunnies). But I don't have any hamster art yet. I'm waiting to get mine before I do it.
I'll keep that in mind!

I actually called around and there's a local exotic vet within a 10 minute drive. I'm about 30-40 minutes away from a reputable ethical breeder (on the CHA list) so I'll be going with them. I'm a little worried about adoption. Normally, I'd go to a shelter for any pet, but hammies can have so many health issues due to backyard breeders or rodent mills. I feel safer about owning one with healthier genetics, at least for my first one. Once I feel more comfortable, I might consider adoption.
