I think there are 3 boys and 3 girls in the younger litter. I'll keep a boy and two girls will go to my friend, so half are already reserved!

These pups can't be sold in the usual way at a show as they may carry blue (which isn't a recognised mutation. Yet.) They can go 'for donation' clearly marked as not for breeding or showing, but not for a set price. If you go to a show and see a hamster marked as for donation or not for breeding and showing, don't think they are necessarily inferior. They may, like these little ones, be part of establishing a newer variety in the UK and just as good as the other young hamsters (though obviously not if you want to show or breed!)
