I really enjoy hamster shows. It is a bonus if one of my hamsters wins a card or a class, it's really about meeting up with friends and people who love hamsters as much as I do. It is also a great place to learn more about hamster care and breeding.
I will be attending most of the Midland shows this year and as many of the Southern as I am able to.
Hamsters are shown in a small show pen as in the photo below. These pens are quite small but the hamster only stays in them for a few hours and as they are nocturnal, they usually sleep their way through shows. They are provided with a dog biscuit and piece of vegetable.
