How Much Would a Hamster cost a Pj's Pet shop or From any other store roughly?

Am in Ireland, so can only answer in euro, but initially hamsters are not cheap pets! You need a cage, water bottle, food tray (optional chew toys), exercise ball; it cost us about €70 to get started - and that's with a pretty basic cage. However, once you have them they are fab pets, and very cheap to keep. Ours was bought from a pet shop and separated from the others because of 'aggression' (I'm one of those suckers who always takes home the animal no one else wants!), we didn't let our daughter handle her for a while, and took her out every day (as should be the norm!!!!) After about two weeks she became very placid and easily handled. (although one word of caution when handling - no hamster likes being woken up- so if you need to do this for cleaning etc be careful!)) I wasn't aware of them being available in shelters, but this is def an option you should look at - better to save an animal than buy one and create revenue for heartless breeders. Good luck
