Talking 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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
