Default The Great Syrian Weigh-in - time for some pics!

Well, it seems we've gone mad for pics at the moment, and what better way to show the progress they've all been making, than by posing for some pics?

Harry was first-up, and I think you can see how his figure has filled out. He's not our biggest ham, owing to his boundless energy... so much, in fact, that he almost opted out of a third pic!

What do you think of his coat? I think it's marvellous - he really does suit my 'ginger lion' nickname, with this glorious mane he's been growing. Guess all those vitamins have done the trick? You'd never think he'd needed rescuing, seeing this!

Ullo:



Does my bum look big in this?:

I'll have to quiz Harry as to his thoughts on being a lady; he does seem rather proud of his status as lion-ham!

From the flames of Harry's coat, to the charcoal of Wes' - Wes seems to be keeping pace with her sister Topaz, and is a lovely, rounded hamster.

Wow Harry is a brilliant colour. He is a credit to you Gus.
As for Wes, well she just gets nicer and nicer - gorgeous.

Thanks for the comments, chaps - they're suitably pleased, in any case

We still need to fit two more in, and it's "Big" Bob's turn - and she's earned her name in the last 2 months, bulking out from tomboy rake, to mama-hamster. Just shy of a whopping 200g, here she is!

Nope, not down here:

She is a stunner. Is she satin Gus? I didn't notice in her previous pics, but she looks satin in those.

And, if we're having "Big" Bob, then we need to finish with "Little" Hobbs - who's a very long, and playful hamster, if missing the bulk of Bob and Wesley.









Hobbs seems to be perpetually on heat, despite living away from the girls - as witness his prominent hip spots, now correctly identified!

He's still something of a 'teenage' hamster, which might explain this away!

Yes, I certainly believe so - she has a very noticeable sheen to her coating
