My name is Lindsi.... I was going to wait until I got my hammy to introduce myself, but I'd hate to be deleted as a spammer, hehe, so I figured I'd better go ahead and post. I'll be getting my dwarf hamster in about...2 weeks now. I'm having to prove my responsibility and such to the parents, hehe. I'm hoping to be able to find a pearl winter white, but since I don't know if I'll be able to find one, we'll just see!

I have 3 cats, 2 dogs, a chinchilla, and 7 horses. My house is a bit like a zoo. =P Soo... I suppose that's all. :)

Hi and welcome to the forum! Can't wait to meet your new hammy when you get it!

[Widowmaker]

Hi!

Yes, it's actually compulsory for new people to show us their pets :lol:

Which type of dwarf hammy are you getting?

[RidinReader]

=} Hopefully a winter white! But who knows, that could change. They're all way too adorable. xD

I guess since I don't have a hammy I can share my others... so here we go!

Wow that is a lot of pets you have! Can't wait till you get your hammy!! Welcome and hope you have fun here!

[souffle]

You have some beautiful pets. We have a GSD also and two kitties. Looking forward to meeting your hammy :lol:

[Widowmaker]

Oooh that is one gorgeous chinchilla!! :D

Winter Whites are indeed very cute, I have one and he's a proper little gemtleman. :D

[babyboos]

you have some gorgeous pets, I hope you find a Pearl Winter white - have you been in touch with any hamster breeders/clubs?

[RidinReader]

Thanks all! No, I haven't contacted any breeders/clubs, but I've never seen any in this area. =/

I have seen winter whites at my local pet store, but I'm not sure if they were truly winter whites or not. It didn't help that they were curled up in a huddle in their house. xD Guess I'll find out this summer, lol.

Hi and welcome from me ... you really do have some absolutely gorgeous pets :)

We just got two Winter Whites a week ago (we already have 3 Syrians) who come from a breeder in the north of England. If you are in the UK (perhaps not, but worth a try!) I'd suggest her - our two are beautiful and incredibly tame already - she travels to various shows.

Here's Sparrow (the Pearl):

Good luck finding one - they really are adorable :wink:

Welcome Lindsi, Glad you checked in with us! Its so hard to tell who is a spammer and who inst! Most of the time spammer accounts just sit there in the member list and never do anything. :?

You have wonderful pets, and I'm so jelous about the horses! I love horses and have always wished for one of my own someday.

[suga]

Welcome to HC - they look like fab animals that you already have :-) - you do need a hamster though to make it complete :-P

Enjoy hc there are soooo many people here with lots of experience so don't be shy...

[Widowmaker]

Just a thought, but have you considered a rescue dwarf hammy? I also post on the Fancy Rats forum and one of the girls on there runs a rescue and they have several dwarfies needing homes... a lot of people overlook them and they are looking for a loving forever home. My Frankie came from there and he is the sweetest-natured little gentleman...

Don't know if you need to be a member to read, but here is the relevant thread (http://www.fancy-rats.co.uk/community/viewtopic.php?t=62393)

=DD Your hamsters are beautiful! I would definitely consider a rescue dwarf, but I don't think there are any rescues around here. I'm in Oklahoma and around here the attitude is generally "Ewww, a rodent?! Why would you want that in your HOUSE?" It was hard enough finding a chinchilla breeder, hehe. So I think I'll just have to scour the petshops for a nice, healthy looking little one.

[Widowmaker]

Ooh sorry, didn't realise you were based in America! :lol:

[babyboos]

Hope you find what you are looking for - do ask around as you would be suprised at where hamster breeders are sometimes they live just down the road.

[RidinReader]

If anybody knows of any hamster breeders in my area I'd be really grateful for contact information. :D
