Today I thought I'd introduce Vectis's Cora Josephine at Metallica. Born in July 2017, Cora arrived at Metallica Hamstery in October 2017 as another possible wife for Lord James. At the time of Cora's arrival, I was becoming concerned as all the other wives I had chosen for James had proven to be unsuccessful or had died, so little Cora had a lot resting on her shoulders.

Thankfully Cora was bred from rather fertile parents and didn't disappoint. She gave birth to seven babies on 19th November 2017. She was a very tolerant mother and put up with being shouted at rather a lot by her demanding offspring.

Now separated from her babies (four of which have now left for their new homes) Cora is enjoying living independently. She's a busy girl, and builds rather impressive nests and food stores. Cora is not an overly affectionate hamster, preferring to be doing things rather than sitting for cuddles but she always comes up to say hello when I walk in the hamster room.
