First of all is it safe for her? Secondly, as I could not get to the DEFRA, is there any sort of documents needed, to take hamster abroad?
Looking for your quick reply,

Hi Saralyna,

You may be able to travel with your Hamster depending on whether he/she is eligible for a PET Passport. Have a look at this link Defra, UK - Animal health and welfare - Pet Travel Scheme - EU regulation - it contains information on the scheme and where/when to travel.

Alternatively, perhaps contact the Polish Embassy or Consulate as well as contacting the airline you'd like to fly with to see what their policy is regarding Pets on board?

I hope this helps!

Nadine
