How many pups do they usually have anyway?

I wanna help too with pupnapping!!!

Those are gonna be some cute pups. I can just tell

. But then all hammy pups are cute, although they will be extra cute

No idea on litter sizes - I will never be a breeder probably. Leave it to the experts.

Were Jessie and James named after Team Rocket from Pokemon at all? I just realised this lol

Thank you for all your kind words everyone.

They got on quite nicely until they woke me up in the early hours of Tuesday morning. They squabbled a bit but settled down to sleep again but Victoria was quite grumpy yesterday evending and during the night she decided that marriage wasn't for her. I split them up and reintroduced them again this morning but they spent the biggest part of an hour and a half squabbling. Apparently the female can get a bit grumpy once they've mated so I'm hoping that this is what has happened with these two. Both have now returned to their own cages and it's now a waiting game to see if any pups are born.

I've not known of any Chineseys to have had more than six which is a fairly manageable number compared to the sizes of some of the Syrian litters.

I'm not really into Pokemon so I'm not all that sure who Team Rocket are. They're named after musicians. Jessie is named after the singer Jessie J (although I've spelt her name Jessie Jaye) and James is named after the Bat Out of Hell Songwriter Jim Steinman (Steinman's real name is James Richard Steinman). James was originally supposed to be called Jim but when I met him it just didn't seem to fit.

Good luck with Victoria

. Hope she has a healthy pregnancy (if she is pregnant).

Oh ok! I'm just a huge Pokemon fan (after the sucess of Pokemon Go lol). I thought Jessie may of been named after Jessie J but wasn't too sure. She used to be my favourite singer lol. I haven't heard of Jim Steinman but then I'm not a music fan. All your hammies have lovely names that suit them well

Sounds quite eventful! Hopefully Victoria's grumps are a good sign... waiting must surely be the hardest part!

I think I'm going to have to polish my hamnapping kit ready for these little ones! Perhaps if I throw Rogue in one direction as a decoy I can sneak round the other side and fill my pockets with Chinesey puppies...

Fingers, toes and eyes crossed for little ones on the way

Three people fighting for possibly 6 hams... 2 each?? :P

Hope everything goes well

*edit* Actually that's 4 people, doh! Hmmmmmmmmmmmm this could get tricky!!

Looks like we'll all be camping outside Fluffagrams's house!

Hey Badwolf, Maybe Victoria will be like my rescued and very pregnant girl Penelope and Fluffagrams will find this in the nest when eyes open.
Sleepy puppies who had eyes open when awake.

It would have been easy to share with 4 people with the Penelopups

and 21 day old girls

I had fun with that rescue but sad cause Mom was diabetic but was still used by the past owner for breeding.
