Babies!

For anyone that hasnt heard yet, our two female hamsters (my bday gift from ian back in april), had babies. Clearly that means they were not both females as the pet store guy assured ian. so anyway, we have somewhere between 4 and 8 hamster babies. They seem to be doing well from what we can tell, phebs (the mom) keeps them hidden in the fluff, but does move them around a lot so we can see them a little bit. Daisy is evidently the dad, so really he needs a new name, but we dont know what else to call him, he has been daisy for 6 months after all.

I took a cute picture of phebs because she had decided to make her temporary home (for her and the babies of course) the wheel, which i thought was so funny. but then i realized you can actually see a little bit of the babies in the picture.


they are tiny little pink things, but i did notice today they are a little bigger and are even getting a little hair. i bet they will be so cute when they are super little cotton balls!!

in 1 to 2 weeks they will be old enough that we need to separate they boys the girls so we dont have tons of babies, and also need to start finding people who will take pairs of hamster babies for us. plus i guess that means we are going to have to learn how to tell apart the boys & girls, something the people at the pet store clearly dont know how to do :)
