Hamster breeder?

Hi. We have a new forum for Hamster owners (and prospective hamster owners) - it includes a list of authorised Uk hamster breeders registered with the National Hamster Council :-). It also lists hamster rescue sites. Do have a look at our forum as there are a lot of care articles and suggestions for cages, taming and all sorts on there :-) Plus we're a friendly bunch if you want to post on the forum with any queries. Some very experienced owners on there. It's https://www.thehamsterforum.com


Be very careful if you see anyone calling themselves a breeder. If they're not registered with the NHC they may not be following good breeding practices. Good breeding practices mean there is a genetic history and good genetic pairings to avoid genetic predisposition to illness and disease. Having said that, Syrian hamsters tend to be generally healthy and many pet shop hamsters are perfectly healthy and live long lives (sadly others don't). We think it's better to adopt or get from a registered breeder.


Aside from that, there is a Syrian breeder in London called Tuftyfluffs - she has a Facebook page but apparently is a bit slow in replying. She usually has litters though.

    • I normally vote Lib Dem and will continue to do so.
    • the reason Tories have lost votes is because they have lost trust primarily. the voters didn't vote for what the Tories did, but what they promised. you can't blame the voters for the outcome, just because they voted for the party. Labour are in a position of influence so we will have to see what they do.  Reform are there, as quite a presence should Labour continue to fail. It feels as if we are on a very thin line
    • I agree with that The voters authorised strong austerity in 2010 and kept voting for it for 14 years - for that reason alone, given Labour have been in power for only months I can't find my else able to equate them as bad as each other. Yet. It may happen and given Labour's poor decision making and comms to date I wouldn't be surprised if they end up that way Problem is the voters say they want one thing (lower prices/better public services/things working) but then don't reward any government that tries to deliver -  and they explicitly said they wanted higher prices with Brexit and lower public services by voting Cons in for 14 years - so they got what they wanted, they just don't like the reality Whoever is elected now has to find a way to address those years of underinvestment and diminished growth - there is no painless way out. But blaming immigration for everything (Reform speciality) is only making everything worse
    • That’s good to know, but it just wasn’t clear to me.
