Hey,
So i've been lurking on this forum for a while, reading up on various useful posts ...and looking at cute picture posts.
My forum name is often shortened to muddy (which is a fairly apt description i seem to attract mud!) as i love the outdoors, gardening, riding etc.
I'm a plant sciences masters student currently trying to write up my thesis *ugh* which is probably why i'm now finally introducing myself!...
I have 1 syrian hamster called Banoffee, who can be... a little simple at times... (who i will introduce in the syrian forum section). I have kept syrian hamsters in the past Albert (pronounced al-bear as in albert the fifth musketeer - that no-one remembers anymore). I had him when i was very small, he was the master of escape, we think he was actually made of toothpaste, as he could fit through the tiniest of gaps (i.e. between the bars) he could also bend these bars, with hindsight perhaps the cage wasn't so good! he was charmed, we found him once in the cupboard having made a nest of museli and carpet fluff, and he once chewed through the wire to the fridge (thankfully only though the earth wire or else he would have been hamster toast!) . Then when i was older there was fudge - she didn't live long but she was the loveliest hamster, she escaped once and got behind the skirting boards, i called her name and she came back to my voice. she could also do a few tricks.
Besides from banoffee my current pets are a collieX called Sam (well he's a family pet and lives with my parents, but i still consider him my dog) and some giant african land snails the margies freyr, freyja, loki and fenrir (and a number of their babies looking for homes) and several fulica types Nibbles, Nacht, Opal, Jet, Diamond, Tully, Stripes, Pink and Dash (and some of their babies looking for homes).
that's me really, slightly mad & plant obsessed
