"It's really laid-back."
Nichole Goddard has been entering in this show for smaller animals for the past five years. Not the typical 4-H projects, Goddard says she and her hamster will be judged on things like how well she knows and cares for her animal, its overall health and grooming, and even how well she decorates its cage! Her sisters show guinea pigs, but she "wanted something smaller." She really likes participating in pocket pets because it's a great opportunity for people who live in town to show their animals, and because "it's really laid-back."
