Hi,
I've just had quick look at this site and see it's going to take a while to read through because there's a lot of information here! I was given the address today by Babyboos and (always wanting to expand my knowledge of those facinating little pets) I thought I'd take a look. I never know what to write in introductions like these, and always feel I've fluffed the whole thing - but here goes!
I'm married with 4 children, 2 boys (aged 8 & 9) & 2 girls (aged 7 & 2). My younger son is the resident hammy fanatic. We've had 2 Syrians. Our last, Snowy Elf, died just over a month ago...
Even though the cage is scrubbed and stripped down I can't seem to put it away, out of sight. It's strange the hold such a small creature can have on a family. We have a beautiful Samoyed dog and a pair of so-cute guinea pigs, but some how it's not the same without that palmful of love.
If you recognise me from other forums then you already know I'm looking for hammy number 3 but because I'm trying to avoid pet shops this time I'm finding it harder. My son and I are happy to wait. We're learning lots and
speaking as a Mum it's nice to have something to share with him.
I'm looking forward to 'meeting' you all
Best wishes
Elaine
