I went into P@H to look at cages, popped over to the adoption centre - nothing there: great.
looked at cages some more & then saw that a staff member was putting some WWs into the adoption tanks - they had just been dumped outside the shop.
3 females + 1 male, all together... the girls had also been fighting.
I said "isn't there a chance that the girls are pregnant?" the bloke said "yeah, probably" :? and went away...
I called him over to show him a nasty looking wound on one of the girls and he had a look and said "she'll probably be ok" and went off again... the girls started fighting again (2 of them had wounds, one seemed to be steering clear), so I called him over again... and said that I'd take the one with the bad wounds.
I brought her home, let her settle for a while then bathed the wounds - I think they look quite clean, but I'll keep a close eye on them... here she is:

I can't believe they let someone adopt an injured, possibly pregnant hamster :roll: I know you're going to look after her but you're just a random member of the public to them.

Yes, I know - I was surprised they let me to be honest! :shock:
I can't believe they don't have quarantine tanks behind the scenes somewhere where they could hold them until the 21 days are up (and to let the wounds heal):evil:
 
Thanks..I know absolutely nothing about hamsters:lol: Did they let you take it for free?
 
She woke up and had a little explore, so I got some shots of her face :D

You can see where her wound is under her front leg

having a drink... she's in a temporary cage at the moment, so can't fit a bottle in - I have ordered her a new cage, which should arrive next week...
