Nibblette's 5
My Winter White hammy Nibblette was originally sexed as male by the pet store. We found out that was false when she had a litter of five pups. This thread will be detailing their first few weeks on this earth until they make it to their forever home.

Re: Nibblette's 5
What a surprise that would be! Did an employee sex the hammie at the time of purchase or were they just in a tank of boys and another tank for girls? Sometimes Pet-Co has boy store & girl stores, not much room for mistakes with Pet-co anyways, Is this a happy surprise? What will you do with the pups?

Re: Nibblette's 5
Nibblette (originally named Niblet) was shipped to a Petsmart in Milford, Ohio with boy hamsters. I only have had her and the daddy for a week and a couple days. Of all things they are the first two hamsters I have ever owned. The pups were born February 5. I will keep one male and one female pup as cagemates for my current two. I will be adopting the rest out to friends and hamily. Any name suggestions are welcome.

Re: Nibblette's 5
Nibblette left part of the nest uncovered and we were able to see three. One white, two pink. One of the pink was a runt. Mama hasn't culled him/her at four days old than he/she has a good chance of survival.

Re: Nibblette's 5
I had a wonderful surprise this morning. At just five days old one of the pups found his way outside the nest to explore. Nibblette was not as excited as I was and she picked him up and took him/her back into the nest as fast as she could.

Re: Nibblette's 5
Make sure you remove the father as soon as possible because she could be pregnant again if you don't take him out. It's a bit strange how one is already white (which means it has fur) and the others don't? White pups are usually pink without fur.
Hope everything goes well

Re: Nibblette's 5
As Nibblette is quite the escape artist, she managed to fit halfway through the bars of her cage. I had the nerve racking task of trying to transfer her and five healthy Winter White pups to a bin cage. Everything went well and she is taking care of everyone in her new nest. I also know I have at least 2 males and 1 female.

Re: Nibblette's 5
I have a very special announcement. I now have two homes lined up for the little hamlets. Let's hope someone else will want to take the final spot on the list soon.
