The Halluperts

[souffle]

They are still getting bigger and bigger! As they will be 4 weeks on Friday they are going to be separated from mum into single gender cages either Wednesday or Thursday. All the pups are reserved now and hopefully we will be able to keep up to date with one or two
Halloumi looks in quite good condition considering the size of the litter but I am sure she will be rather glad to have some peace and quiet! The pups will have some time to get used to not having mum around and to also have fewer siblings with them. I am monitoring them closely and the separation cages are ready if Halloumi gets fed up with them sooner. They eat an incredible amount of food for such small creatures. I made up 2kg of mix on Saturday for them and it is all gone!
Some pics from yesterday

AWWW I suppose it's going to be hard to see them go. Enjoy this last weeks with them!

Awww! totally heart melting photos again
Halloumi has done an amazing job & I'm sure she deserves some well earned respite now bless her.

Awww beautiful pups and pics I love seeing their progress and the changes in them from post to post, they really do grow up too quickly - though I'm sure Halloumi will be glad for a rest and some peace and quiet again

What does it mean tussels? Google translate says that it means mussels but I don't think it is translating it right

Tussle means play-fighting in this case Hamsterita.

Souffle, this is such a gorgeous litter, and so wonderfully healthy too. Mama did an amazing job with these little ones.

Usually I leave mama alone with the babies for quite some time. But I think when they have large litters like this, it's a good idea to let mama out sooner, as you did, for a break now and then. It just can't be easy for them with that many babies demanding attention. I know when my Sandy Bear had 16 babies she was nearly frantic to get away from then for a bit now and then. Sandy was the only one I had to have such a large litter.

I just adore the pictures of the babies coming out of those beautiful eggs. Stunning photos!

Thank you for linking me to this thread earlier, Souffle. I have really enjoyed seeing your little ones and how much they have grown! Every one of them is gorgeous. Makes me quite envious

Gorgeous photos - I'm beginning to recognise some of them now from the earlier photos. Lol at the second photo - "let's all mug the elephant" sprung to mind.

Yes I'm sure there will be follow up for at least one of them. Souffle is kindly letting me have one of the pups - yet to be decided which one Been keeping it under my hat.

Ok, that's it, I'm going to move to Yorkshire and be put on Souffle's list. They are just so perfect, I can't believe they're almost 4 weeks already!
Souffle will you be keeping any for yourself?

I laughed so much at Serendipity's caption for the second photo lol. I'm also excited to hear that one of the pups will be going home with Serendipity

Souffle I forgot to mention, the pups all look so big already! And at only 4 weeks old! Which is a good thing, obviously. How much do they weigh? Just wondering so I can compare them size-wise to my Mushu who I thought was big at 101g by 11 weeks old.
