Limey waves hi! He only has 3 paws but decided to wave them all

Today I seem to have an unexpected day off (as I was informed when I went in to work and they all looked surprised that I was back from my leave already - oops). So I've had a chance to pootle round the hamster room and take some pictures in the daylight for you.

This is the organisational hub of the hamster room. The clipboard holds The List - every hamster is listed along with last show, last spot on and other relevant notes. I used to only do it when the pet sitters were visiting, but decided it was worthwhile in case of an emergency as I know what's what in my hamster room but no-one else does! I love whiteboards and lists - the hamsters have a little section on my fridge next to my dog training whiteboard, but this is their main board.
The drawers hold substrate for show pens as well as wet dog food, treats and health/quarantine items like spot on, plastic aprons and syringes. A new food bin is arriving today so the bin with the shower cap on will be able to retire!

On the other side of the hamster room are the shelves with stuff for cleaning out, spare toys, spare water bottles and unmixed food. The playbox is currently housing the spare substrate!

And my collection of hamster books, previous copies of the journal and craft stuff. Since my last photo thread I've got new plastic boxes for storing all the crafty bits to make it easier to clean (and to stop escaped hamsters and duprasi from eating the crafty bits!)

Here are some of my precious old hamster books. I love re-reading them - it's interesting to see how hamsters were fed in the post war years when rationing was still in place.
And finally, here's a photo of "all of my robos"

Yes, I only have 2: Zeus and Hera.
