Whilst away during half term we visited Becky Falls on Dartmoor. It homes unwanted pets and has a great little education programme that allows you to get up close and personal with all sorts of animals, cute and cuddly and big and scaly – the Cheetah Keeper reporting with great pride that he got to stroke a “Boeing Constrictor”. My DH doesn’t really feature on the blog (at his request) so this is about as close to a picture of my family that you’ll get…
No we can’t have a hamster

‘Boeing Constrictor’ … that’d be one heck of a snake to go for a plane!

Loving the photo, it’s really lovely

It was nearly 6 stone of boeing constrictor – the Cheetah Keeper thought she was great../

Lovely photo! I love the concentration! Probably best not to have a hamster, might upset the cheetahs

Oh no, not the dreaded, ‘can we have a hamster, mum?’

Loved that “Boeing Constrictor”, so cute! Great pic.
PS: no hamster for us, but Lovely Rabbit instead…

I would secretly *ooops!* love one of the little black and white rabbits but our lifestyle and health doesn’t really make it an option… we’ll settle on visiting others instead

Becky Falls is so pretty! I love the look of awe and wonderment on the children’s faces. Your OH has a nice hand lol x
20/06/2012 at 6:37 pm
there’s a whole Becky Falls post to come! Those are his ‘holiday hands’ usually they’re covered in oil and grime!

Yikes, a boeing constrictor – not at all cuddly. Love the family hamster experience x.
20/06/2012 at 7:07 pm
it’s the wings and engines that make it so difficult to cuddle… we had a brilliant time there – would thoroughly recommend it.
20/06/2012 at 7:47 pm
mine DH doesn’t either.
I had a fab photo of him I wanted to use… oh well.
Love hamsters – they really are little trouble an don’t last long

such is life! our next door neighbour got a hamster a year ago for her 3rd birthday (named ‘three’) – she didn’t make it til Easter this year…

Cute children. Cute hamster. But don’t get one. They are evil!
20/06/2012 at 8:18 pm

20/06/2012 at 8:36 pm
Awww cute!
20/06/2012 at 8:45 pm

20/06/2012 at 10:29 pm
YES! you CAN have a hamster!
21/06/2012 at 9:00 am
