Hi again! This is Tom, from the AGS board. Nice to see you here. Congrats to Henry, and the contest seems like a very useful way to help critters. A long-hair, I see. Two of my favorite, now deceased, hams were gorgeous long-hairs: the beloved Princess andf they almost as beloved Prince. (See my memorial gallery link below). When she died of a stroke, devastating me, she was 2 1/2 - I rescued her six months earlier on 3/2/03 after being left in a pet store in her CT2 by some awful people. The very next day after she died, that morning, I went to my small local pet store and saw - for the first and only time - a beautiful young banded sable long-hair who looked like her younger identical brother. It was spiritual! Prince lived a happy life here for a few years, and even fathered some hams after an escape! ;D Best to Henry. BTW, rescued hams can be jumpy, but normally well-treated hams who are healthy don't bite if treated correctly.  Man, the more I look at his photos the more they remind me of Princess and Prince!  Henry appears to be the same color, too. |

Welcome, gerbilgal! Henry is lovely! That photo of him is very nice, indeed.
I am the Chinese hamster fan on the forum--Fuzz is my "son" (boyfriend's term for him).

Yes he is. He is my first hamster also. He gives all hamsters a good name. Never bitten me once. Maybe nibbled a couple of times when he clearly wanted down but thats it. I also own 7 wonderful gerbils.

Welcome BACK to RR. As I posted, he looks like Princess and Prince - two of my most beloved hams: sable long hairs, both long deceased. But the sweet memories, and their photos, live on. I think a Search will find their posts in the Hamster forum. |

Condolences about Henry. We all lose them regularly, and it always hurts. We have them for brief periods only; enjoy them while you have them. I see the new ham, Fred, is very rare! (And very cute). >> His official hamster color is Longhaired Umbrous Golden Banded. << >> Fred might temporary go back to Holmden Hill for stud to continue his line. I know he is gong to produce a wonderful coat << Hope he has fun!  |
