It's best to find a vet near you that can treat hamsters and register with them now, and also ask them what their fees are.

Oh of course! What a fool! I never even thought about out of hours vet care etc. thank you for reminding me on that!
£120 is a lot but well worth it for keeping our little hams healthy and happy. I saw a poll not long ago from hamster care group UK and some people have paid £500+ on their hamsters. (of course, surgery wise). It's amazing how expensive all animals can really be, no matter their size.
