Nibblette's 5

[souffle]

Oh I though you had bought two of them only found out when she had babies. That's good then that she won't have any more.
It is likely she is coming back in to heat now they are weaned and it could escalate so you can still separate them at 3 1/2 weeks plus if they are bickering

That is what happened

[souffle]

So what I am saying is was the other hamster in with Niblette when the pups were born?. You see Dwarf hamsters mate immediately after birth....this is like immediately - not the next day or week. Immediately. The female can delay implantation slightly so a second litter can arrive in about 23 to even 26 days after the first. She may have pups in the house

He was in there with her but she was not letting him anywhere near her at the time. I also looked in the nest and there were no pups.

The pups have successfully made the transition to Dad's cage. He enjoyed his freedom for the last four weeks but know he has five hyper little cage-mates. He gave up his spot in the nest for them and dug himself a new one. He also brought food to them. Dashie however, keeps following him around everywhere and climbing on his back. He keeps trying to run away and hide but Dashie kept following.

Dashie sounds adorable Will make somebody a nice active pet I'm sure!

[Sm_banks]

I'm sure he will too, just not me! Maybe you? You said you wanted him.lol

[Cinnamon Bear]

He looks like he has a good personality! You'll have to adopt him out carefully for me! I'm sure you will for all of them ( that you're not keeping that is

[Sm_banks]

I will, I am keeping Muskie and Peanut. My neighbor will be adopting one, And Nancy's Hamsters friend has a store that she will try to adopt the remaining two. If they don't get adopted however, Nancy will be keeping them.

That's good news!
