Hello everyone!
My name is AshCat, I am from the United States and am very excited to get back into keeping hamsters. I kept them as a child (10 - 14 years old) but regrettably did not meet other keepers to learn about them. I kept to my published books and learned as much as I could with what I had. I am hoping to get a new hamster in one or two weeks, and am thinking about getting a Syrian as I want a hamster who is sociable, but do not feel comfortable with a diabetic prone hamster at this point.
I have no pictures of my old hamsters (I kept them about 2 BC. Before Cellphone), but I remember them very well! My first hamster was an albino (dwarf I believe?) named Daisy. My neighbor got a petstore hamster and it had a litter, so I got her as a baby. My second hamster was a white and tan syrian who had similar markings to the popular Hamtaro character. He was the nicest ham I ever had, and I still miss him almost eight years after his death. My third hamster was named Jasper, a Campbell and Winter White mix. I was never able to socialize him and needed gloves often. But I loved him a lot and his favorite thing to do was run in his ball around my room.
I've been reading the forum for a week after being recruited by youtubers, and the community seems incredibly friendly! I'm excited to learn more about hamsters and to make friends with fellow keepers.
So excited to be here!
There are a few members around where you are. Sadly, North America has not embraced the love of hamsters to the same extent as our friends across the pond!
Hopefully those of us that do their homework can lead by example.
