Not sure if a hamster would enjoy the long journey back to London, though...
A lot of the breeder hams seem to travel quite well and usually just go to sleep in their carrier. If you do need to travel from Bath with a hamster though, we can help out with some travel tips to make things as easy as possible.

It sounds more complicated in writing than it actually is. I remember when I read about what Pen Stewarding involved, I thought I'd never get my head around it - particularly when you might have two dwarves in a pen but I didn't find things too bad once I'd seen it.

It can depend on things like how many hamsters are entered and how quickly the Show Sec is able to process all the paperwork but most of the shows I've been to will usually finish between 4-6pm. Pets are judged at 2pm and there is the Pet Class presentations after judging of that section is complete. That's usually about 3-3:30pm but it depends on how many pets thee are.

Bath is a fantastic city and I feel fortunate to live so close. If you ever come to Bath and you're a Jane Austen fan, then do pay a visit to the Jane Austen Centre and take a photo with the greeter there... he's such a lovely, jolly chap.

I'll put the direct link with the photos from the show up in this thread when they're online so everyone can have a look.
