Also, for a Syrian you'd need to get bigger furnishings and maybe couldn't use much of Bogie's things. You need a 28cm wheel, large house like a guinea pig sized house etc. I always look for things for rats because what they sell in petshops for hamsters is only big enough for dwarfs.
I won't buy a hamster yet then. I'll wait for my friend so she can ask them how old the hamster is etc, though they probably don't know.
You see, I'm not as advanced of an hamster owner to deal with a pregnant hamster.

Bogie had big things though. His house is huge as well. It's difficult to find anything for dwarf hamsters.

28cm wheel? As in width? Height? I have 3 different wheels. Hmm, that hamster could've been pregnant, yeah. I didn't think about that
