Well it depends what type of hamster you want- if you want a syrian hamster; they are about $10-$25 dollars at Petco; but if you want a dwarf hamster they are about $6-$25 dollars. Then again, Syrian hamsters are on the first level of being endangered so you have to take great carefor them. But if you just want one to have as a great pet, Dwarf Hamsters are better. In my opinion Dwarf Hamsters are better. Hope this helped!

I had this exact problem with one of my hamsters. This is serious and can cause the hamster a lot of pain. It is likely the hamster will need to be put down. You need to take the hamster to the vets as soon as possible, as it is not fair to keep it alive under such circumstances.


Your hamster is constantly peeing blood what do you do?

get rid of your hamster and get a new one NO DONT LISTEN TO THE ONE THAT SAYS, "get rid of your hamster and get a new one" YOU TAKE YOUR HAMSTER TO THE VET IMMEADIATELY!!! IT COULD BE A UTI. UTI could be fatal to a hamster's life. In the meantime after you make the vet appointment, try giving your hamster some water by a dropper because they could be dehydrated. UTI is very painful to hamsters so don't handle it often and keep it comfortable. Make sure the room tempature is comfortable for the hamster. And make sure it has fresh food and water. The hamster may be a little sluggish and not move around much but that is only because it is tired and in pain.
