I'll be Pen Stewarding for the dwarf section so do come and say hello. I won't be able to point out my own hamsters but I can point out the various dwarf species and colours to you.
The no card thing is really helpful to know, thank you! I can just imagine finding a lovely hamster and being unable to pay. Will make sure to take some cash out. Is there a usual price for a hamster, or does it vary?

I think I will go with what I know and get a syrian if I do get a pup, as I am all equipped for one - both in terms of knowledge and cage, food & accessories. I did email a very nice lady called Kim who said that she won’t know if there will be any pups for sale at the show until Wednesday or Thursday, because breeders usually don’t notify her until then. Are there ever shows where no breeders bring any syrian hams to sell?

It all sounds really nice heaven for hamster lovers. Can’t believe that I haven’t been to a show before, really.

Would love to come and say hi. Stupid question, but what does pen stuarding involve? Just to make sure I don’t walk up to the wrong person! Oh also, I need to point out in advance that I am not terribly rude - just painfully shy. So, sorry if I come across as awkward.

Ah thank you. That is so kind. Wish you could see it too. I am sure someone will post lots of pictures, though I will try to take some myself if I can and I remember!
