hi there have u tried ur local pets at home store, they do an adoption scheme where they have hamsters that people have handed in, and u can have them for free or for a small donation. i went in to mine yesterday, for a syrian hamster, i paid £8 for mine, but they had lots of dwarf hamsters for free. as i said your local one may have female syrians, as unwanted litters or untamed adults are often handed in.
