Sirius is a duprasi - that's why he looks different to a hamster

Speaking of duprasi, Carina and Altair are still happily cohabiting:

Sorry for missing two days, but I'll make up for it today!

Today the hammies, two doops and I went to the Real London show. The hamster section is part of a larger show with guinea pigs (cavies), mice and gerbils as well. The show's held in a sports hall, and here's a view of the hall from my show sec table:

There were some cute hammies being judged:

Put me out of my misery Vectis as I couldn't stay to the end. Which was BIS of those two?!
My husband was intrigued by the fancy mice much to my surprise. Also he reported that during the auction of cavies 2 people were after the same one and the final bid was £100!!

Congratulations to your show crew. Can the doops be entered in a class?

[Vectis Hamstery]

The mottled Campbell was Overall Best in Show

Yes, the duprasi were entered in the gerbil section. Carina won 1st duprasi, but missed out in the Exotic Challenge class.
