Need a pet in the house, but you're not allowed to buy a cat or dog? Why not look into a dwarf hamster? They are small and easy to take care of. Unless you get them a huge cage they will not take up much room either.
Breeders normally register their dwarf hamsters into shows, so these will be high quality, and in the best of health. Plus the temperament of these furry little creatures will be good. That's what they are made to be.
People who sell hamsters to a pet store won't take the same interest in making sure that the animal is high quality. It will be healthy in most cases, but you can never tell how it will act around children though either.
In most cases, pet stores put more emphasis in the quantity of dwarf hamsters they're selling. Chances are the the health of these animals are compromised. You will have a much better chance of getting a quality dwarf hamster from a breeder.
Look for someone who needs to sell a beloved pet even. These people will have taken great care of their little pet, and you will be able to get some goodies to go along with it like cages, wheels, etc. In turn, you'll save some money by not purchasing dwarf hamster gear from the pet store.
Finally, try to see if you can find another way to buy a hamster instead of from your local pet store, either by helping an abandoned pet or finding a breeder. Either option will normally give you a much healthier hamster to start with. Though with the rescue home again you may get an older hamster, but your child will be happy to have helped out the homeless animal anyway!
