Re: How long should one search for a re-homed hamster before purchasing a pet shop hamster?
I'm sorry to hear about your condition. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't wait; it's understandable that you would want to enjoy animal companionship as soon as possible. Your situation is a prime example of why there isn't a one-size-fits-all answer.
With an actual child, waiting is good ...

Re: How long should one search for a re-homed hamster before purchasing a pet shop hamster?

I am an adult with a disability that prevents me from driving (not from being able to take care of a hamster at this time) so I have the same limitations that a youth has with regards to driving and how far a friend would be willing to drive me to pick up a re-homed ...

Re: How long should one search for a re-homed hamster before purchasing a pet shop hamster?
Sorry to be a party pooper, but I would always search for a rescue hamster, and never buy one from a pet shop. I am very driven by my ethics, and am uncomfortable with the idea of breeding animals to be pets. Therefore I would only rescue/rehome a hamster.
For the record, I don't think age ...

Re: no winter white breeders anywhere?
Winterbell Hamstery is the closest to me and was wondering what the drama surrounding them is and if it rises to the level that I should stay away from them?Winterbell Hamstery, but apparently there is some drama surrounding them? Not too sure about that.

Re: Bin Measurements
Thank You for all of your help!
I am glad to know that one can take the measurements and calculate the sq inches from the top of the bedding in a bin cage.
I plan on getting a Robo and make homemade items that are lightweight and so don't need platform supports down in the bottom of the bin. I ...
