Here are some ideas:Get him another dwarf hamsterOccupy his time with something that he really likes, that will take his mind off his hamster that diedGet him a new pet (it's OK if it's not a dwarf hamster, you'd probably want to get a pet that's lifespan is longer than a hamster)
It depends on were you are purchasing the hamster. At a commercial pet store such as PetCo or Petsmart in Pennsylvania they can be purchased at around $12-$15. However you can buy them cheaper from a breeder or a small family owned business they cost around $10. As well as being cheaper, buying a hamster from a breeder/small business is a better idea they are usually treated better, live longer, are healthier, and don't come from hamster mills which are know to abuse their animals.
