Yep Willow is the namesake for the hamstery and the reason why I have such a huge love for Chinesey's
I think the main differences I found between Chinese and Syrian is the size and the fact that my Chinese have always been more happy to sit and have snuggles than my SYrians.
My next 2 hammies were Rowan and Skadi. Rowan was a gorgeous Satin Rex Golden girl from Bourne Valley Hamstery and my first pedigree Syrian. She was also a monster cage destroyer! She ate out of a Mamble 100 Rat cage and managed to escape the Detolf twice, she finally settled in a 3ft tank but she definitely kept me on my toes.

Skadi was a Sapphire Winter White from Hamster Mischief and such a lovely little hammy. Her favourite thing to do was eat chocolate drops and escape from the detolf when she inherited it! I still have no idea how she did it, I just remember being in bed, hearing a thud and finding her sitting in my bin staring up at me
