Hi.
I'm Linz. I'm in the process of researching the possibility of getting a hamster. I came across the Blue Cross and RSPCA pages about their care, and value them, but I crave the practical, hands-on advice of actual hamster keepers.
In my opinion and my experience, the advice and experience of those who have kept hamsters (or other animals, such as fish) can be as important and as invaluable as the literature produced by animal welfare charities.
That's about it, really. Until I start with the questions, anyway.
