Default The Cormes (E17)

Earlier this month I paired Vectis's Lord James, Earl of Metallica to Vectis's Cora Josephine at Metallica in the hope that they would produce the next generation for Metallica Hamstery's show team.

The pairing went well and Cora began to look rounder towards the early part of last week. She's been busy stashing food away and she's built herself a nice secure nest to rivel the one that Victoria built to have The Nobrias in. Her first due date was the 17th but when I saw her yesterday afternoon, she'd not delivered yet but I'm keeping everything crossed for signs that Cora has delivered safely in the next few days.

Here's a couple of photos from their courtship...

I thought I'd give you all a bit of an update.

I've seen Cora a fair few times since her last due date and she's certainly looking slimmer. She's got quite an appetite on her and is not keen to be away from the nest for too long of a period of time preferring to come out for short frequent visits to get food, scurrying back fairly quickly.

She's been quite clever with her nesting skills, moving the entrance tunnel to her nest every couple of days... there's not much chance of anything escaping from that nest if Cora has anything to do with it.

That sound like there she has had pups. Just need to wait for news of pups squeezing etc.

Fingers crossed all goes well.
