mine are winter whites
I had three - Jack Frost, Smorgasbord and Monkey. Monkey was awesome, but he died a couple of weeks ago :(

I've also had ones called Mozzarella, Freya, Neutrino and Quark (the last two were Robrovskis which are tiny tiny)

Mine were all Syrian
My made usually gets the dwarf ones. But they don't last as long as Syrians :(

Tell you what I'd love
A miniature pig. I think they're hilarious.

I'd name him Robert. Not Rob. Robert.

I'd really love it if you named him Robert Goulet
and ALWAYS called him Robert Goulet.

*googles*
awww! they are so cute

although is this one of those things where they breed cute animals which are plagued with genetic problems?

it's always sad that rodents don't live long enough
but my tip is don't buy animals from Pets At Home. Previous hamsters from there died of genetic things, Jack, Smorg and Monkey came from a proper breeder and are far more healthy.

How much is a hammy nowadays?
When Harvey died the cat was more sad than I thought he'd be, but my nerves improved...

the place I went to
charged me about £20 for three hamsters and a hamster ball. I think stupid pets at home charge about £6 for hamsters, so it's worth finding a good pet shop/breeder who is careful about genetic things.

Yeah what you paid is hardly expensive is it?
I'll bear that in mind if the urge to own a hamster returns...
