Ethical breeders

Ethical breeders are hamster breeders who work hard to improve genes and provide healthy hamsters with good temperaments. They aren’t cheap, usually at least $50, but totally worth every penny!

Ethical breeders are registered with the hamster association in their country. Non-registered breeders are called “back yard breeders,” and it is advised that you not purchase a hamster from a backyard breeder. Backyard breeders my not be breeding with the health or well being of the hamsters in mind.

If you are looking for a hamster to join your family, I suggest either getting a rescue hamster or purchasing a hamster from a registered, ethical breeder. Either way you will be supporting a good cause in the hamster community.
