To mark the granting of an official title to my winter white hybrid, Nanuk, he has received a coat of arms of his own.
It features an "N" surrounded by his personal latin motto "E Cavea Auferimus Ad Astra" ("From the cage to the stars"), flanked by two hamsters dangling from their cage bars (as he regularly does), holding up a wheel each (which he loves running on).
The crest features a third hamster with his arms upstretched in the dangling pose.
At the bottom is a second motto:" Qui Sciebant?" ("Who Knew?") - referring to his until-recently mistaken gender.
Yes, I've had too much time on my hands!
P.S. The second coat of arms was that of my dear deceased Admiral Lord Nelson (Russian Dwarf Hybrid). He fought off a cat while still a youngster and managed to survive minus an eye and part of one ear so his crest was a hamster wealding a sword with the motto :"His Bravery Knows No Bounds".
Don't judge me!
