Hello

[DonnaB]

Having already gained a lot of advice, its only polite to say hello properly.

I'm Donna (obviously) and have just taken on a rescue Syrian, its been many years since I was last a hamster owner... oooh at least 11-12 and joined here to refresh my brain cells. I also have a 13 yr old Bull Terrier, 4 cats, one rabbit of my own, but I also foster homeless rabbits for a local rescue and usually have between 4 and 6 staying with me.

I'm much older than I'd like to be and I have 2 little girls who are rapidly learning to love animals as much as me.

Hi Donna and welcome from another young at heart person.

[souffle]

Hello and welcome. I feel we know you well already though and hope to see you sticking around.

[Spuds Mum]

Hi and welcome DonnaB, its nice to say hello to another member, who like most of us, has our hands full with children and animals, but still reaches out to care for another animal

and a huge round of applause for fostering the rescue rabbits. Well done you

Aww thanks for that.

I'm kinda relieved to discover there are some adults on here, I must admit I was a bit worried, not that I have a problem with younger people.... but I DO have a problem with being old! lol

[babyboos]

I think we all have that problem...
but hey we get to relive our youth through the eys of our babies (human and furry) :P

Welcome and I hope you enjoy being part of a pretty unique hamster forum enjoyed by young and less young hamster lovers

Helloooo from another far from spring chicken.

Us, erherm, more 'mature' types seem to be getting more common these days, I must admit I do feel a bit out of place on some forums in the thick of all the talk of music and teenage fashion

Nice to meet you

[babyboos]

Fashion??!!! Leggings with stirrups are back in so I reckon I am glad I am not fashionable!!! Only look good on a size 6/8 teenager.

welcome sounds like you have a full house

Hi Donna - I feel like I know you already as well but welcome from me (another mature - well, possiblyanyway - person)!
