Default Matthew C. Nobria, Viscount Metallica

It gives me great pleasure in officially introducing the newest member of Metallica Hamstery..



Meet Matthew C. Nobria, Viscount Metallica. He is the son of Nobby and Victoria and is now six weeks old.

He's a sweet boy who has inherited his parents calm temperaments and I hope he'll grow into a nice show ham.

He's recently been separated from his brothers and all of his siblings have gone to their new homes today. He's currently living in a small 'growing up' tank until he adjusts to living on his own and will then be upgraded gradually as he becomes more confident. It is hoped that he will live in Jessie's old bin cage that will then be furnished according to his interests. At the moment he's loving his Mummy's rainbow bridge toy so I'll be leaving that in there for him as he'll have played with that as a baby.

Matthew looks beautiful! I'm sure he'll grow up into a very nice show ham as handsome as he is already.

Fluffagrams, out of interest how do you choose a keeper from a litter? And why did you pick the handsome Matthew?

Thank you all, I think he's cute but then I'm probably a little bit biased.

It wasn't easy but I tried to follow the show standards as best I could. This really is where stewarding at shows really proves to be helpful because you're able to get a real idea of what good looks like.

It actually was a very close decision between him and one of his brothers but in the end I liked the head on Matthew a little bit more than I did on the other one and he had the same nice colour as the other was I was deliberating between.

Welcome Matthew! He's very cute - you're not being biased .

I don't think I would be a good breeder as I wouldn't have a keeper, I'd keep ALL of them !

It wasn't always easy to think that they wouldn't all be staying here forever as I loved my little Nobrias but I was also pleased for them as they started the next chapter of their lives with their new owners.

I know every owner that has taken home one of Matthew's siblings personally and they have been some of the most influential people in my hamstery 'career' so far so it's nice to be able to give something back.
