I just noticed on the list of breeders, quite a few saying - no longer active. Might have been just one region though. Sad if some lost their lines. I guess these things go in phases. One breeder, when I checked the web page, wasn't dealing with hamsters at all any more, (I had looked there only last year).

It just occurred to me because we often recommend people to get hamsters from breeders but then it's hard to find any hamsters! Maybe the NHC could run a breeder training course to encourage some more ethical breeders!
