:? I can see your point Bunsey, but then I'd class myself as a small hamstery person.

Although I am at 16 syrians currently so wouldn't qualify, would be a bit miffed though as quite a lot of mine are the bald, the gummy and the incredibly old, so don't count as show hamsters, so how do they measure that? (just for interest)? :D

a good point spud's mum. i've got rescues and old dodderers, so it would annoy me if they took me over my limit! it should be under about 20 really, i guess. i'd also like a non-breeder class, too. anything where i don't go up against the likes of Tristar and so actually have a chance :x
