Have you tried "pets at home" at Meersbrook retail park?
0114 262 9250


Think they sell them but not sure, hence the phone number.



You may be better putting the question in the pets section instead

cheers for this - just reposted !

we got my nephew 2 from pet shop aqt manor top the other week

I got ours from a breeder at Bradway,she is very good and usually has quite a few different one's to choose from.If you PM me i will give you her tel. no.

Are you wanting it as a pet or is Richard Gere paying you a visit?

try Critter Sitters or Noahs Ark

the only place I know of is hamsterdam. you can get cheap trips there now for a weekend away etc:roll:

oh my, dont get one from pets at home!!!!

Try Freddie Starr, he has eaten one so I believe, or Gail Platt, she looks like one and must have mothered a few.

There is a 'free animal forum' on freecycle I believe, for small animals etc. Or is it on here?

You mean those horrible creatures that look all cute and cuddly but can bite to the bone in seconds! Try middletons at bottom of moor, they usually have these things for kids in.

oh my, dont get one from pets at home!!!!

I'll second that!We got one from there and it died of wet tail within a week,and i also know of 3 others which followed suit.
A breeder is much better,our is nearly 2 now and he's been great,really tame,no problems etc....

If you can't get hold of a hamster why not get a gerbil that does impressions?

oh my, dont get one from pets at home!!!!

Why why why?

I did, mine have had to be put into seperate cages now! :o

Wow, a pet shop that not only kills your hamster but your friends as well! Either you're cursed or there's a pet shop owner with a sideline in serial killing.......

Maybe the friends died from eating the hamsters. There's always a simple explanation if you look hard enough.

I got my hamster from the new pets at home in Parkgate. It was a male....a week later it produced 8 babies. So if anyone wants one when they're old enough, pm me!!

hi i have an hamster cage for free if u want it needs water bottle only needs collecting from s6 area foxhill thanks

I didn't know they were selling any 2 year old boys at the moment at that shop. Thought it was just animals.

dont get any hamsters from pets at home they are not friendly and die very quick sadly

i got my hamster from pets at home months ago and its the friendliest hamster ive ever had! It used to be a bit funny at first but i kept picking it up and now it loves being out and even stays still when you stroke its head. Its also half albino, half white half brownish and one pink eye. V cute.

just speaking from experience mine and other peoples i would awalys go for hamsters who have been handled from birth and not stuck in a pet shop but glad yours turned alright but if you are still looking or anyone looking for a hamster (baby) pm monkeynut1 she has baby boys but sadly the girls are taken.

the pet shop at firth park is usually good for hamsters most of the time they're already tame, never had any problms with any from there

why were they put into a cage together in the first place? :o (not an agressive comment, BTW:- I'm just utterly aghast that the seller who sold them to you didn't warn you that it is imperative that hamsters not be put together, as they will fight to the death.)

Hamsters have to be kept as "singletons", not in groups like rats or gerbils.

im sorry but i no sevral people who have russian dwarfs in groups its just syrians that youre not ment to have together

no necessarily:- Russian dwarves can also be extremely aggressive toward each other; it's not guaranteed that they will live harmoniously together.

i no all about russian dwarf hamsters because my friend is a expert on them. and have kept them all my life in groups and have never had any problems.

Yes, Syrians definitely need to be kept apart, but as I said above, it doesn't necessarily follow that because you have had no problems keeping dwarf hammies in groups/ pairs that they all get on, as a whole.

It is not certain, at all, that everything will be hunky-dory. I've kept shedloads of hammies, since I was young, (mainly Syrians) but I had two sets of dwarves, and had to separate them for fighting, as they were very aggressive toward each other.

Despite the general consensus being that they should get on okay, it's not a dead-cert, and anyone keeping dwarf hammies still needs to be vigilant for signs of fighting or aggression.

On the whole most will live happily in groups- but just like people, some wont get on with others.

To the others saying about Pets at Home -they have got a lot better now - we had a lovely little hammy from PaH and he lived to the ripe of old age of 2 years and 4 months before having to be put down because of a tumour on his head. He was a bit stand offish, but could be very loving and really cute.

I miss him :(

awww im sure u have happy memories of him though.

awww im sure u have happy memories of him though.

Yeah, he was fab. I do still have the scar where he bit me because I really wanted to play, and he didn't. :hihi:

And I thought only kids did that :P

lol bless i love hamsters.!

PM ami_j on here, I'm pretty sure she breeds hammys :)

Ami .. is it best to get a hamster from a young age?

I just realised the OP was like, ages ago so I'd presume they may have already got a hammy now lol
