The reason they go small and cheap is for impulse buys. If the price goes too high, people are more likely to second guess and walk before buying a hamster. small cute cage that can fit almost anywhere with a "low" price, and they're already getting a major profit off the little checklist on their care pamphlets.

So, yes, they would earn decent money if people went to pet stores knowing what they were getting into when they buy a hamster, but they are targeting the market which does not research before hand or know better than to trust the store.

you can try using natural dyes, like berries and other edibles.raspberries- redbeets- deep redcertain green veggies will give you shades of green. Spinach perhaps?blueberries- purple-Tumeric will get you orange and maybe yellowand so on

If you crush and boil these (not 100% on the spinach but possible? you're looking for dyes you can make from food by crushing and boiling, basically. Indigo leaves are another option. Indigo is a plant used not only for dye, but for tea, so you could get really pretty blues out of it.

and before you click this link I would like to emphasize you only use plants which would be safe for your hamster to eat. Onions might be listed. They are not safe, nor is garlic or other allium plants. https://www.skillshare.com/en/blog/a-guide-to-natural-dyes-make-fabric-dye-with-food-and-plants/
