Hamster Clubhouse

In my province, there are only two dwarf hybrid hamsters available and they are like 3 hours drive away. I’ve been to 2 pet stores as well and haven’t seen ANY. They used to be everywhere but now they’re virtually impossible to acquire. I’ve checked kijiji and the only ad for one is over a month old (messaged anyways though)
Any other places I can look?
I’ve checked all the rescues and kijiji and even pet stores. There’s no breeders around here besides one who breeds Syrians.

Then I would ask the local pet stores when they might be getting some. They might just order on a rotation.

Tal vez podrías buscar en grupos de Facebook dedicados a pequeños animales o hámsters en tu zona, porque mucha gente publica allí antes que en otras páginas. También podrías preguntar directamente en veterinarias o tiendas pequeñas de mascotas, ya que a veces roobet españa conocen criadores locales que no anuncian en internet. Entiendo tu frustración, sobre todo si antes eran fáciles de encontrar, pero espero que pronto aparezca uno cerca de ti y que no tengas que conducir tantas horas.
