3 escapes 1 bad mating

[~ TC ~]

Mmmm still a not a good thing to have happened in any case so still hope nothing comes of it. They will be sold as PET's only and none will be retained for breeding. But as said, best case would be that she doesn't give birth at all!!

Thanks for all the info though

And as for safty.... locks are on the doors that do lock and new locks are coming for the ones that dont!

Just read the link about the hairless... NOOO that is just so ugly (poor little mites). Now I really am preying that nothing comes of this 'help your self mating!!'

Fingers crossed for you TC and thats a good idea with the locks!

Oh, on the wiki it says 'Many hairless hamsters are the result of poor breeding practice and the breeding of two satin coated hamsters' so I thought they produced hairless babies aswell?

Well I don't know who wrote that, so apologies to whoever i'm pissing off, but it's not true. Hairless is an actual (recessive) coat mutation in its own right, and double satins definitely do have fur!

Okay then, I'm no expert that's why I'm asking. Thanks.
