This is my 3 1/2 year old hammie, Cube, during an intense obstacle course of a relay race. Carrots are used instead of batons. He's quite the athlete!

:oops:Oh Dear - I seem to have messed up just about every aspect of this 'competition'- it's because I've never done this sort of thing before,thought the comp closed on July 31st until I just checked to make sure, didn't see the rules re voting until it was too late and I'd voted (thought I was only allowed 1 vote but would be happy to add another if I could ) and am generally ham-fisted at all such things - Sorry!:cry: I shall try hard not to be quite so geriatric next time x
