Sounds like we'll all just need to be patient then as it certainly doesn't sound like they'll be managing to escape

At the moment Cora's tunnel stretches the entire way across her tank and when she's out she sits at the entrance to the tunnel guarding it.

Nest check is due next weekend so I should be able to update then.

Congrats on the nuptials of handsome James and gorgeous Cora. I'm so happy the pairing is going well thus far and Cora has delivered her pups. It sounds like she is being quite the loving, protective mum keeping her pups safe and sound in her nest. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that all the pups survive and thrive, and Cora continues to do well, too. I'm so happy for you, Metallica's show team, and the happy hamparents. I look forward to your next update, too.

I was going to do this update yesterday but was a bit distracted.

In amongst all of the sadness in the hamstery on Thursday, I actually caught a brief glimpse of one of The Cormes babies whilst I was putting James back after playtime. It had found it's way out of the nest but Cora was not impressed and chased the naughty baby back in the nest.

Yesterday the pups were feeling a little bit more rebellious and one actually ventured away from the entrance to the nest to enjoy some of the wet cat food that I'd put out. They're a little smaller than The Nobrias but are ever so sweet.

It won't be too long until first handling and I'll be able to see exactly what we have.

I saw some of the pups had their eyes open on Saturday but I delayed first handling until yesterday to be on the safe side and my goodness Cora and James have done well...

Here's a close up of one of the little poppets... He does have his eyes open really but he's channelling his father's rather laid back approach:

Here's proud mum, who's in remarkably good condition considering how busy she'll have been:

And here's dad who is hoping that he doesn't have to put up with any more wives stealing all his noms:
