Question
I am in Amman, Jordan. I want to buy a baby Hamster that was imported from Holland, 2-3 months old. My Dad tolled me that the hamster needs shots before I buy it but the pet shop owner informed me that hamsters dont get shots, what do you think?

Thank you

Answer
Hi Afif!

Well, the pet shop owner was right. Hamsters don't need shots. A lot of people think that since they get their cats and dogs shots, hamsters would need them, too, right? But hamsters are hardy little animals who just don't need shots.

If you want any more information like on buying a hamster,water,food,exercise,fun games,sicknesses and illnesses with their cause,treatment and prevention,please write back and I will write you lots of helpful information that you will nee to know!

I hope this has been helpful and I wish you the best of luck!
