"Hi! My name is Sarah. I work at Extra Care Animal Hospital; I am one of the technicians there. I am here at Petland in Pembroke Pines today to tell you a little bit about hamster care on behalf of Expert Village.com. In order to ensure that the hamster that you have purchased is a healthy one—and as soon as possible after purchasing your hamster—you should have a full physical exam done on it by a qualified exotic mammal veterinarian. You can look up qualified exotic mammal veterinarians at the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarian website, which is www.aemv.org. If you would like any more information about the animal hospital that I work at, you can go to www.extracareanimalhospital.net, and if you would like any more information about Petland in Pembroke Pines, Florida, you can go to www.petland.com.
