I always see frozen hamsters being sold at reptile shows. There are a bunch of shows in southern california right around now. Also, a friend of mine got into hamster breeding for the fun of it, and it's really easy. Full sized hamsters have litters between 5-10 at a time, and they grow pretty fast. i think they're even sexually mature at 3 weeks or so. I also hate hamsters, but these guys were OK. You don't have to play with them, and just get a pair of leather gloves for when you want to separate the babies from the mom. Also, if you have an empty extra cage that you always keep clean and ready to house hamsters, cleaning becomes super easy. Just move the little buggers into the new cage, and they're good, then dump the old one at your leisure, or however that's spelled. They're good for a few days or a week. Depends on your bedding. Cedar works really well at covering that smelly hamster odor, although I hear you're not really supposed to use cedar.
