After a lot of thought I have decided to get a hamster for DS (6). I realise this pet may become my responsibility, but I do have some faith in DS's interest as he has stuck with our chickens since he was tiny and happily cleans them out each week.
I realise that the best place to get a hamster from is a breeder. However I'm really struggling to find one (in the east midlands). I've been to Pets at Home and a local large independent pet shop, they seemed knowledgable but I'm not sure whether they are a risky place to get a hamster from. They both said they don't handle them a great deal which sounds like a bad thing. I've also read that breeders tend to offer hamsters with better temperaments- which is important to us.
So, can anyone advise please?
