They are all very adorable.. wow on Noah- it looks like that ham has blue eyes? Id never seen that before? is Noah all white?

[i-love-paddy]

he looks all white but he is actually a yellow dominant spot. he has 2 small patches on his face and 2 on his back. as a show hamster he wouldnt do very well, but i fell head over heels in love with him. he has lovely soft fur

[SnuggleHam]

I see... ya he looks all white, I was going to say "I want one!!!" Id like to see more picture of him, full bodied marking and what not. Do you breed hamsters and how them?

[i-love-paddy]

I wont be starting until this wet tail has totally cleared up. I'm lucky that I have been researching it all for 6 months and that I go to shows and things so have gotten a lot of friends in the fancy who have been very helpful. I have rescued and rehomed 2 Syrians boys last month - 1 to my daughter's friend and the other to a friend at work so I will get regular updates.



I'm not going to rush into it and I'm taking in slow. I would love to breed Noah at a later date. I have got all the parentage for all my hamsters which makes for interesting reading.



Im still building up my website - I'm no expert so it's taking a while. I'm trying to make it clear to people about the responsibility having a hamster brings because I get so angry when I read people cannot afford to go to the vet etc. People just seem to think 'it's only a hamster' so I want to make people know about their responsibilities as well.

wow, what is it with Charlies? I used to have a hamster called Charlie, and since then practically every hamster called Charlie has looked exactly like him!! :lol: it's truely a mystery.



Hows things going down at Pet lamb Hamstery? Any litters as of yet? What happened with the Wet Tail?

[i-love-paddy]

hi,wet tail has gone now thanks. Babies still in isolation.



going to wait 7 more days until 100% sure my others haven't got it - I wouldn't have thought so now - then I will breed paddy and daisy.

[flogging_molly]

Do you know how the Wet Tail outbreak started as this may help you prevent it happening in the future

[i-love-paddy]

yes, my 2 babies I brought from breeder were quite young (4 weeks) and were running on together when I noticed the wet tail 2 days after they came home. So as far as I'm concerned it was the stress that brought it on.



in future I wont ever get a hamster that young - sticking to my usual 6-7 weeks

I always feed my pups on Harry Hamster and supplement with AviPro have never (touch wood) had a case of Wet Tail in any of my hamster babies. How are Daisy's babies Emma can you hear lots of squeeking? I would recommend you get a good pre/probiotic from your vet or specialist pet supplier for the little ones, and Harry Hamster food if you use it already. Did you manage to get wheatgerm okay?

[i-love-paddy]

just saw this...



yes, got wheatgerm ok. daisy had 8 pups, lost 1, now 7. 5 girls, 2 boys. as you know, I lost Paddy on Monday :cry:



keeping cinnie girl and grey boy, all but 1 of the pups is reserved.



i am keeping my litters to 1 every month.



next up wil be Byron and Gypsy, my 2 l/h sables.

I would love to see more pictures of Noah too. I have a shorthaired Yellow White Bellied Dominant Spot in my recent litter and he/she is so far completely white, I cannot find any coloured patches anywhere yet.
