I am pleased to report that Michelle has had another litter! Michelle is our favorite both for color and disposition. Her current litter has been weaned and will be available for sale in a week or so. Also due to be weaned is a nice litter or litters from Harlie Girl and Carmel – Argente and Argente motts.

We have paired a “widow” and “widower”. Both lost previous mates. They got along immediately and seemed happy to have a friend again. I was happy they got along so well – you never know with older hamsters.

We will also be introducing Sasha and Benjamin. Carmel or Harlie girl will soon be paired with Auburn Pudge.  And Hamtaro will be put back with Dafodil as soon as her current single is weaned. We are still looking for a chocolate male for Pearl to see if we have black eyed Argente or Moscow genes.

If you need nice hamsters e-mail Jenna now. These will go fast!

We did not have any live Jersey babies. We are down to three nice healthy Velveteens and one really bad looking orphan. I almost put it out of it’s misery last night but thought I would see if it was alive this morning and it was ready for breakfast so is still hanging in there. Don’t know what else to do with it. So for 4 does bred we had one not take, two with dead babies, and one with half the litter surviving. Bad round of luck.

Hamsters are doing well. We have some nice colors to wean soon. We need to put more pairs together also – I have to get Jenna to decide what she is going to pair up next.

It has been a long time since I have had time to write anything. Panda lost her whole litter. Julie started with 6 and is down to 3 in the box and 2 in the kitchen on a heating pad. The more you want babies out of a doe the harder it seems to get them. We are waiting on Jersey babies right now.

The hamsters are having nice litters. Michelle has 2 solid blacks, a blue, and a mott blue. We have some other litters that should have mott Argente’s – too early to see anything yet.

We have Christmas hamsters that will be going to new homes this week. Lucky kids! It is so hard to shop for kids and get them something worthwhile – I am glad to see some parents have figured out a pet is a good thing. Even for those busy people in town hamsters are a good choice – they are so easy to take care of .
