This month's theme has been chosen by member Hekomi, the winner of last month's competition.
THIS COMPETITION IS FOR A PICTURE of 'A HAMSTER KEEPING FIT' so the photo should be one that shows a hamster exercising on a wheel / disc/ toy or climbing / running or any type for activity type shot NO PHOTOSHOPPED PICTURES PLEASE.
The theme is for a picture of A HAMSTER KEEPING FIT

Please do not post any comments about the picture. Please post THE HAMSTERS NAME ONLY. Any extra comments will be removed.

It's a new month so we have to choose the 'Hamster of the Month' for next month. The winning hamster will appear on the front page of the forum so when someone comes on to the forum they will see the picture.
PLEASE TRY AND RESIZE PHOTOS AS SOME ARE HUGE AND ARE STRETCHING THE FORUM. 600 pixels wide is a good standard size for the forum. Please try and do this as the huge pics are pixellated and do not do your entry justice. I do not have time to resize them all I'm afraid. You can resize them on photobucket.

1. This competition is for the July Hamster of the month. We would like a picture this month with a 'A HAMSTER KEEPING FIT'

2. You may enter 1 picture.

3. The picture should be clear and as charming as possible

4. The picture must be of a hamster of any species and it must belong to you or your family. It may be with you now or have passed to the bridge.

5. Closing date for entries is 23rd June 2014 at midnight GMT.

6. The voting will be posted and the new pic will be displayed in July. Each member will have two votes. The poll may be public. The winner will choose the theme for the next month and they cannot enter the competition for the theme they have chosen.

7. Please try and post a new photograph that you have not entered in a previous competition.

8. It must be pictures of hamsters 'A HAMSTER KEEPING FIT. If you post a picture that is not themed you will be asked to replace it with one that is. If you do not do this is will NOT be included in the competition.

9. Please do not post any comments on the thread until AFTER the poll has closed. PM me with questions. Comments will be removed.


PM me with any queries. If you cannot post pics then e mail me the pic and I will post it on your behalf.
If you decide to withdraw an entry please let me know
If your picture is not there when the poll is posted I will PM you to ask if there is a problem but there is only a limited time that the Poll posting can be held for so please respond as soon as possible thanks.

Pictures that are too large or too small do not do your entry justice and people may just skim over it. PLEASE RESIZE

Looking forward to seeing your entries :smile:

Thanks!

It was pure luck! I had just adopted her and to my knowledge this was her first day on a real wheel.. I don't think she knew her own strength.. I saw her go all the way around a few times and decided to grab my camera. Eventually I got the perfect shot!

She still does this though.. she flips all the way around then goes right back to it... silly little ham.

That certainly is the perfect shot. What amazes me is that the image isn't blurred from the wheel or Lola still moving! x

I attribute all that to my DSLR :) I couldn't stop laughing the night I took that picture.

I am still surprised that the DSLR managed to take that without a blur as the wheel must have been moving at some speed for her to flip.. then actually capturing the flip. You certainly deserve to win! x
