Nope, this is my first time on this forum!
Thank you very much Serendipity - I am already finding this the friendliest and most useful forum for hamster knowledge at the moment. It's such a shame that friendly advice is quite hard to find on the internet at the moment? A forum I used to be a member of 10 years ago is extremely lecturey and rude to innocent questions nowadays
I'm sure you will be seeing a lot of my rusty hamster owner questions dotted about! :')
