I can well recommend popping along to a show ad36. We did just that a few months ago and received such a warm welcome. Everyone we spoke to was only too happy to answer our questions, to give us help and advice about our hamsters and, to top it all, we had the chance to look at some gorgeous hamsters in colours you'd never see in pet shops, with someone there to describe them to us and to tell us about the classes etc. We've been to every one of our local shows since then and have recently joined the Northern Hamster Club.
It is so nice to be able to share your hobby with like minded individuals - a bit like having a face to face forum!
