I just thought I would throw this in, I actually use a small cage from petsathome when I go to the vets, they don't have the handles, so you need to hold form the bottom, but i would do that with a pet carrier anyway.

This way it means I can move my hamsters house/hide into it and mostly they just go straight back to sleep and are non the wiser as to what is going on.
I just think it is slightly more secure than a carrier as I know of many hamsters that have chewed their way out of them.
It can also be used for when cleaning out or a hospital cage if ever needed.
