There will be a Hamster Show at the Fillongley Village Hall on Saturday 7th February 2009. The show starts at 10:30am. Members of the public are welcome to come along to view the animals and speak to the owners.

The Fillongley is north of Coventry, on the B4908. From Coventry, take the Radford Road (Junction 1 of the Ring Road).

I have received a number of comments and messages recently, telling me that Syrian hamsters shouldn't be kept in pairs or small groups. I know the people sending these messages are well meaning, but I wish they would stop and actually read my web site.

I do not have any Syrian hamsters. We only have dwarf hamsters, and they can usually be kept in pairs or small groups. Any mention of hamsters being housed together will always refer to dwarf hamsters. I know that Syrian hamsters should be housed separately when they get older but that's completely irrelevant to me.

We briefly looked after some Syrians but they were kept in their own cages. We don't have them any more.

p.s.

I also keep getting messages asking whether any of the hamsters are for sale. Sorry but they are all pets and not for sale.
