Pets At Home were great in helping me choose and care for my hamster, and very first pet! Impulsively, I decided I wanted a hamster and Pets At Home was perfect! They have quite the selection of hamsters and the staff are happy to let you see the hamster out of the cage before you buy.
I had my heart set on a male syrian hamster and a particularly fluffy blond one caught my eye. Robert, the bashful teenage assistant brought him out the cage. It turned out that it had wet tail and I couldn't purchase that particular hamster. It was for the best since the hamster was a little bitey and nervous. (Wet tail can be caused by stress!) Sharon, the female sales assistant suggested a hamster which she said would be great and was one of the friendliest they had and was very chuffed when I took her advice!
So, I left with my new hamster, Dwight, and everything I needed for him, including a membership to the Pets At Home veterinary service and a free health check. Pets At Home have a great range of reasonably priced pet toys and all those little extras for a content pet! I couldn't be happier with my new friend!
PS. If you're not buying your cage at Pets At Home, a hamster will very easily chew through the two small cardboard carry boxes they give you. I learnt the heard way when I had to run home with a very mischievous hamster poking through an increasing number of holes! read more
