Thank you Basia. I try my best to be of assistance when I can and I hope it rubs off on others so that it makes our forum a happy, helpful place to be where everyone helps each other. I like to adopt the Disney's 'Thumper' attitude when he says 'If you cant say something nice dont say anything at all'
To tell you the truth I would not charge to tame a hamster. It would be a positive pleasure and a challenge. We have taken a few that people have bought as Christmas presents and tamed them up for the big day when the kiddies received their new pets with strict instructions on how to care for them. I might ask for a small donation for a rescue charity if the person offered though. Pophammy is the best hamster tamer though as she is fearless having tamed since she was two and having a certain knack as youngsters do
the first show i went to, i didn't even take a hamster and a few shows after that i only entered pets! no-one expects newbies to know anything about the show world and everyone is very friendly and keen to explain things. The willington show made a loss last year and i'd hate to see it dropped as it's one of only 2 venues that's only an hour away from us
I feel like a sponge when I'm around Souffle - just soaking up the info 'til I'm saturated :P
Willington is very close to me as well, Bunsey - just a twenty minute drive - I'd be devastated to see it go, lets try and get millions of people to attend.
