Do you need a parent to get a hamster at a petstore?

Do you need your parents to sign a form/contract thingie at a petstore to buy a hamster????? Do you need a parent to get a hamster at a petstore?
Many pet stores will not allow young kids to even be in their store alone much less buy and animal without their parents being there. In the pet shop where I used to work we would not make the parents sign anything, necessarily, but we wouldn't ever sell a pet to a kid that is alone.





The thing is, most kids who wouldn't want their parent to be there are the same that aren't allowed to have them at all, so when the parents find out they have it they will come back and yell at the pet shop employees for selling their kid a pet.Do you need a parent to get a hamster at a petstore?
Most places won't sell to a minor. If they think you're too young they'll ask for ID. So yes, you need your parents if you're under 18 to get a hamster.
depends what pet store, some do some don't, just ask the store people
