I picked up Dracula off Basia at Blenheim (thanks Basia - I will take real good care of her). She is going to have issues as I keep calling her 'he'. The problem is that I wanted a black and Basia said she had one for me. The name Dracula just stuck in my head and the fact that she is a girl didn't seem to matter in the least. It is quite apt as she seems determined to draw blood.
She is a SH black satin. She is a bit jumpy still but she is only 7 weeks. She is my first very own hamster and here she is. Just click on the pictures to make them bigger:

She is a beauty and it will be lovely to follow her progress as we have done since she was born I think all new hamsters are a bit jumpy when they move to their new home. It must be stressful going in a car, then a show, then a new cage etc but she will settle very quickly now she is home.
I've been waiting for this introduction since meeting this beauty yesterday.
She is really gorgeous - how can you call something this pretty Dracula? I guess we all have the pleasure of naming our hammies, so Dracula it is - just try not to be too surprised when she lives up to her name.
HW - I'm sure she'll settle down into her home and her name, look forward to watching her grow up.
