Hi!

Unfortunately, hamsters are banned in NZ ( at least for now;)). It is not an endemic species and the government doesn't allow the import of hamsters in order to protect the natural flora and fauna.

There have been cases when a 43-year-old woman sneaked a hamster in the airport. She sprayed herself with perfume in order to pass the airport beagle, put the hamster in her pocket and passes the security. Even if she managed to fool the airport guards, she faced a trial after two years when Police found out about her hamster Eric.

I know that a hamster is cute and funny, but you have to buy another pet in order to avoid a trial:).

Hope this helps!

If you need to find out more about hamsters you can find it at http://www.HamsterBungalow.com, a brand new site dedicated to all hamster lovers. If you don't find what you are looking for on my site, be patient. I'm just starting to roll the wheel - just like my hamsters :)! Come back weekly as I will post fresh information that I hope will be of help to you!

Good luck!

you can't buy Hamsters in NZ.

You can buy guinea pigs or rats though.
