Hamsters are one of the most popular pets in South Africa, with many people choosing to get a hamster as a family pet. However, it’s important to understand that not all hamsters are created equal. While there are some very cheap hamsters available for sale in some townships and cities around South Africa, most people purchase their hamsters at pet stores where they’re typically sold for between R20 and R50 per animal depending on the size and breed of the pet (larger breeds go for more).
Most hamsters in South Africa are sold for R100
Hamsters are the most popular pet in South Africa, and you can buy them at pet stores or from breeders. They’re sold for between R100 and R250, depending on their size and age. A hamster will cost you between R50 and R100 if it’s a baby or if a breeder has bred it (who usually charges more).
A hamster sold in Cape Town will cost about R20 over one sold in Durban
If you’re looking for a hamster in Cape Town, it will cost you about R20 over one sold in Durban. The same goes for Johannesburg and Durban.
However, if you’re looking at buying your pet from Johannesburg or Durban and have your heart set on getting one as soon as possible, then I would recommend that you keep driving up north until you find a store that sells them cheaper than their counterparts do in Cape Town.
People often purchase hamsters at pet stores
You can find a good variety of hamsters at pet stores. Pet stores are a great place to buy your new addition, as they will have advice from staff on how to care for them and what they need in their cages.
A hamster can range from 50 to 100 rand
You can buy a hamster in South Africa from a pet store, breeder or online.
- Pet stores: The best place to purchase your hamster will be at the local pet store. Hamsters are relatively inexpensive and easy to care for, so they make a great first pet for young children or people who don’t have enough space in their homes to keep animals like dogs or cats!
- Breeders: If you’re looking for an animal that requires more time and effort than just buying from an ordinary store, then breeders may be more suitable for your needs because they’ll typically charge higher prices than regular retailers do – but it’s worth it if this makes sense for your family situation!
- Online retailers: There are plenty of websites out there where people sell their pets directly through their website instead of using middlemen such as animal shelters/rescue organizations (which often charge fees).
Conclusion
This article has covered the basics of hamster ownership in South Africa. Hamsters are a popular pet and you can purchase them from pet stores or online, but they are not cheap!
