Question

Can you buy a hamster as a baby at the pet store?

Answer 1

YES ma'am

Answer 2

I am a Hamsterologist(if thats even real) i have 2 now but in the past have had 21 hamsters. It depends on the age of the hamster. if you live in the US you should bye a hamster at 7-8 weeks of age.  if you bye a hamster too early you may be taking it at a critical learning age. if a hamster is 4-5 weeks Definatley dont get it because if you do they might not be weened off of milk yet or the mother wont be too happy about it. From 5-6 weeks the hamster is going through a bonding stage which means their learning all the sites and sounds so leave them be if you get one then (but you might want to wait 3-4 days before holding them and if you do get them at 5-6 hold them every other day until at least 8 weeks).

    Ask your pet store person the age of the animals. If th age is 7-8 perfect. 6-7 ok. 4-5 early. 3 and under dont even look at that batch of hamsters.( if there aren't a lot of hamsters in that batch and the babies are 3 or under or 5-4 maybe ask your pet store person the put the hamster on hold or something.)

Good luck bye.

Answer 3

You can buy them as young as four weeks. At least that's the youngest a GOOD pet store will sell them to you.

Answer 4

The youngest you can buy them if four or five weeks old you cant buy them when they have just been born!!

mine is 12weeks

Answer 5

Yes!!!!!  You can go to a pet store when a hamster is pregnant and claim one of the babies.  If you ask your local pet store I am sure they can help.  Be very aware of hamster mills for they mistreat the rodents and they can come out very angry and confused.  I am glad for your interest in baby hamsters.  

Answer 6

Yes, they are normally about 4 or 5 weeks old when you can buy them from a petstore.
