Default Re: Photo Month Thread - August

There was a little bit more to fish care than we imagined there would be but once we got in the routine of things, we got used to it.

So todays photo is a little blurry but I still wanted to share it because it's of one of our very first hamsters...



This would have been taken in about 1999 (before digital photography had really taken off) and she was the last Syrian we owned. Her name was Lucie and she was a lovely girl but unfortunately a tumour cut her life short.

The first Syrian, which I couldn't find a photo of came to live with us in 1996. He was a Christmas present (in a way) although I didn't actually bring him home until the beginning of January. On Christmas Day they'd given me a book about hamsters and tucked inside was a letter saying that I could go and choose my own hamster from the shop when I'd read the book and was ready. I remember spending my Christmas money that year on toys and treats for my new hamster.

What a lovely Christmas present that must have been!
Lucie does look like a lovely girl.
I do find it hard to imagine you keeping syrians now as I associate you with Chineseys so much!

It seems strange to me in a way as I've got so used to Chineseys and their funny little ways. Admittedly it was a long time ago but I can't imagine what it'd be like to own a Syrian now.

Chaotic lol! (ie to own a Syrian now). But maybe that is the same for all hammies ha ha. Lovely to see Lucie and hear about your hammy Christmas present. I can't imagine having anything smaller than our rather large Syrian, but it would be nice and different to have a Chinesey

I promised that today would be a Chinesey day and that is because today is a very special day in the Metallica Hamstery calendar because today is the first birthday of our lovely Lord James.

Born at Vectis Hamstery, James was one of six puppies and came to live with Metallica Hamstery on 31st October. A lovely lad from the moment we first met him, James has developed into a fine man-ham and has progressed nicely in his show career.

Happy Birthday Lord James!
