Hi, my names siobhan, i live in the north east of england and its safe to say i'm hamster crazy! In fact, im rodent crazy! I own 17 syrian hamster (9 boys and 8 girls), 3 russians (boys), 2 chinese (boys), 2 roborovskis (girls) and 1 winter white (girl). I also have 4 mice, 4 rats, 2gerbils and 6 rabbits. It all started about a year ago, i'd never owned a hamster as a child and was very excited to buy my first one, a tiny golden boy, as soon as i bought him and left the shop i felt bad for his little golden brother sitting all alone in the cage so went back and bought him and another cage, he was to be my boyfriends hamster. After that i just became addicted and couldnt stop, i love them all so much and wouldnt change any of them for the world, we converted a whole room in our flat for them, with two rows of shelves on one side of the room and the bigger cages for the rats and rabbits on the other side, along with the more awkward cages such as the rotastak and habitrial ranges. I'll quickly introduce my hams. Theres charlie and willy, both golden, the original two that started it all, and daisy, a satin cinnamon banded, our first girl who susprised us with a litter, we kept the babies who are a longhaired cream beauty called draco, his equally gorgeous golden, satin, long haired brother lucky (who we had to hand rear with goats milk or he'd have surely died, hense the name) and their sister baby, a golden banded. There's also willow, daisy's sister; a grey eared cream girl, kovu; a tiny all black boy, his sister kiara, a golden, harvey; a sable boy who is slowly turning brown with age, big mac; a truely giant long haired black boy with the most amazing fullest coat i've ever seen, teddy; a grey roan long haired we adopted when fairly old and has always been a little sickly, i call him my little ol' man. Honey; a rather robust golden banded girl we adopted from a friend, Miele; a long haired sable female, milo; a tiny red eyed mink boy, pepper; a light creamy grey girl, nova; a perfect little grey dominant spot girl. Sweet and sour my chinese dwarf boys. Bramble; a cream and white russian dwarf i had to seperate from his brothers coz they picked on him, they are bruno; an all white russian and basil, a grey and white russian dwarf. Athena and aphrodite, lovely little roborovskis and bailey my lovely little winter white who i searched forever for! I think thats everyhing lol, i tend to get a little carried away when talking about my hamsters!

Thanks everyone and it certainly is a lot of work but i enjoy every minute of it, even the mucky parts, and plus i'm a bit of a night owl so they're the perfect pets for me! i miss them when i'm away from them. I went on holiday last year and my mam looked after them all, though they were considerably less then, she was still ripping her hair out and i was still worried sick the whole time!

Hey does anyone know how to upload photos? Do they need to be on a website or can i upload one from my folders on my computer? I'm particularly interested in colours and would love to see if you all agree with my guesses on what my hamsters are.
