Default Chinesey Pupdate

I now have 2 Chinesey litters in the nest here at Vectis at the moment. I'm so thrilled!

The the Adgemer litter was born on 1st June to Adgestone and Merstone who are both black-eyed whites. This is very interesting as I understood BEWs couldn't produce pups together. I can't wait to see the pups. I may have to wait a bit over the 2 weeks to find out as I have a viral illness at the moment. Mer and Adge were living as a long term pair over the past 2 months but Mer turned on her husband after the pups were born so he's now enjoying his own cage.

On about 12th June, the Norsand litter was born. I say 'about' as mum Sandown was very secretive and she kept them quiet for a few days. Dad Norton is still in with Sandy and seems to be helping her which is unusual in my experience. They were living as a long term pair and it hasn't been possible to remove him yet without disturbing the nest. Both parents are dom spots so I'm expecting 50% dom spots, 25% BEWs and 25% normals.

I have two other girls who are hopefully cooking me some puppies. Red Scharron was paired with Lio!rt Wyrmbidder (both normals) on 3rd June and had to be split due to arguing on 6th June. Pups should be due from 24th June.
Scrappy, the 3 legged Lilio! pup (son of Lio!rt), was paired with Ridcully, one of my Dutch imports on 3rd June. Both are normals and they are currently still together. There again pups are due from 24th June.

I have two other long term pairs who are happily co-existing at present: Boddony and Gunilla, and Pteppic and Ptraci. I also have some other girls to pair after Andover - Helen, Calbourne and Maanantai.

It's always a busy time after bringing in fresh outcrosses from Houten!

Thanks everyone. I'm feeling a little better this afternoon though I still have lost my voice! With the aid of lots of alcohol gel and minimal handling I checked on the wee ones.

Adgemers
Now 15 days old they have their eyes open and there are just 2 little white pups in the nest. Both on a quick look seem to be male. So sweet! Given that they're from white to white I'll be running them on longer than usual and whichever one I don't keep will be going to a fellow breeder.

Norsands
Sandy's still being an attentive mum and has her pups well hidden. I heard squeaks and mum looks well so I'm happy.

Redlio!s
Red feels a bit heftier than usual (I don't know how to describe it but there's a 'feel' to a pregnant Chinese in the hand that a merely chunky ham doesn't have). 1 week to go until the earliest due date. Here she is looking cute!

Aw! Ridcully and Scrappy are still snuggling together without a squeak. I've upgraded them the next step into a bigger small tank and all's well so far.

And here's a sneaky winter white puppy because he made me do it!

It's busy busy at the Vectis Hamstery

I'm pleased to hear Scrappy is doing well with his new little friend the look so sweet in that pic

They're all so lovely though, Red looks gorgeous as to the two little white pups and well of course the little Kittiden has stolen my heart, I'm glad he made you post a pic of him lol.

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, hope you get back to 100% soon

Aw the two white boys are just so tiny & cute
Red looks almost unbearably cute too lol!
Snuggly Ridcully and Scrappy just melt my heart & I'm so glad the little WW pup made you do it

Glad all is going well & you're feeling a bit better now.

You said that "as I understood BEWs couldn't produce pups together". why is that and how did they do it then?
