US Backcard Story

Pink saw a strange, muddy hamster galloping toward her from across the field. "My goodness, I think you need a bath!" she exclaimed as she poured her favorite bubble bath into the waterfall beside the stable. Soon bubbles were everywhere, twinkling in the sun and floating on the gentle breeze. "Perhaps I put in too much bubble bath," she thought. "Oh well, she really is very muddy." After much scrubbing a beautiful, red hamster emerged from the bubbly water. "I'll call you Cherry," said Pink. Cherry just smiled. She had found a new friend.

UK Backcard Story

Cherry is a shy hamster who loves to play in the muddy field and roll about covering herself in goo. But bath time is also a favourite time as she chases bubbles on the wind.
