Sounds like you are taking good care of them. Hopefully all will be well. What color is Mom?

She's a silver grey. I have no idea what dad is, it'll be interesting to see what the pups show.

She sounds lovely.

Awww contratulations! My little Sweep is a silver/grey sort of color too, though yesterday I noticed he seems to have a sort of beige/pale brownish on his head too! bI haven't seen this before on him, so I am wondering if maybe he is changing color slightly? You can see it better in the second pic ...

Ooh you're a Grandma! (As in you're Mum to your hammy and your hammy is a Mum). I hope all goes well. Check out some of the threads maybe to find out what to do and not do when a ham has had babies (apologies if you know this already). I think the main thing is not disturb anything and just put food and water out.
