Thanks for the feedback. I'll get some pictures when the wife gets home a bit later. Ernie isn't very tame, so we'll need both hands.

Ernie has been heavier than Eric for quite a long time - it's not something new. We weigh them every week (experience we have learned from previous hamsters), and their weights diverged quite significantly around the 20th November - and Ernie has been this weight for around 3-4 weeks now and no pups have appeared. He also gained weight over xmas when we were away and they were staying at friends - but has since lost it again as we don't overfeed them (unlike our well meaning friend).

I should add that this behaviour has being going on for a month or so - it's not at all recent.

Anyway, I'll get some photos later and pop them up.

Thanks once again..
