Hamster hunting in Hertfordshire

[triford]

Hi,

I'm new to the hamster world (although I did have one(flash) as a child). I'm looking at purchasing a hamster for my daughter. The hamster will be primarily for the eldest daughter and we'll help maintain (me and my wife).

What are the steps involved in finding a perfect pet for my daughter? I've also purchased a
Savic Cambridge Hamster Cage as a starter home. I've attempted to contact Tuftyfluff Hamsters but sadly not had any reply via email (tried pm this afternoon). Obviously I could buy from a pet store but I'd prefer to use a breeder.

p.s Any breeders in Hertfordshire feel free to contact me !

Thanks In advance

The savic cambridge is a great cage for a syrian =] I already know it'll be a lucky hamster because you've obviously researched it (and accepted that you're probably going to have to help look after it)
I can't help but welcome and good luck with your hamster hunting =]

Also..your title totally scared me because I thought it was a new sport...like fox hunting >.<

Sue at Tuftyfluff usually checks her e-mail / forums etc a few times a day, but she also has children to pic up from school etc so you might not get a response straight away. I know they have just had some babies born there, but they are only 1 or 2 days old. So if you are in no hurry just let Sue get back to you, and I am sure she will put you on her list.

I am also in Herts Watford and I do have some babies who are 6 weeks, some 5 weeks and some 4 weeks, but not many. so you can pm me and let me know what you are looking for if we aren't too far from you.

Hi Steffan so sorry for not getting back to you, just seen this post and checked my email and yours was in my spam folder for some reason, I have just emailed you back

Thanks for the replies. My email went into the spam folder thus no reply.

Rachel - Thanks for your reply but looks like I'll go with my initial request to Sue.

Katie - My main sport is Triathlon (thus the name) just find it's not used on many forums as Ford is quite common !

Thanks again for your kind replies. I'm sure I'll be on the forum lots as the website is a real wealth of information (Got my tips for the house from here).

Yes it was after the film and not the Cleaner Stuff. I loved that film as a child. Funny we were all discussing in work about using your pet's first name and your mothers maiden name as a Sudo name. It actually makes for a funny discussion. Mine was "Flash Williams", lucky as my second pet was called "Fred".
