I know dogs and cats can have standard health check ups at the vets like us humans do at the doctors. But do vets do simple health check ups on smaller animals like hamsters? (In the UK) My hamster seems happy and healthy enough, but it would be nice to have a proffessional opinion of a vet and a check over.
Answers:
Yes, there should be vets that you can take him to, and it's a very good idea that you do! (And a very good idea that you're thinking about it NOW while the hammy is still healthy, instead of waiting to find one when a problem has already developed! Hurrah for you!)
You're lucky, over there across the pond you have many many very active hamster clubs and breeders as resources. Over here in America, hamster fancy is not such a big hobby, so we have more troubles finding what we need.
Check out the British Hamster Association (BHA) webpage, and if you don't see vets listed, drop them an email with your location and ask about vets that are well-versed in hamsters in your area. I'm sure they could help you.
Again, great going on thinking about this NOW instead of later when there's already a problem. I could hug you.
Yes you should be able to. They are small animal vets. Hamsters are small animals. hehe you should take it in.
