My first Hamster was a Christmas present from my parents about 25 years ago. I remember that on Christmas Day itself, they gave me a book about hamsters and inside it was a letter that explained that when I had read the book, I could go and choose my hamster from our local independant pet shop (who are still in business today).

They had chosen the biggest cage that they could buy at the time even though I begged them for a Rotastak instead and the hamster I chose was a SH Golden that I named Zack. Zack was quite a sweet little lad and I loved spending my pocket money on toys and treats for him. Yes there were moments when they had to nag me to clean out his cage but they were very good at reminding me that I had agreed to be responsible for him throughout his life.
