A Strong Brew Update

[cypher]

Lovely update Hekomi, the hams are looking great & the babies are so adorable!
Nice to see Pumpkin again, hard to believe she's about a year already!

I was saddened to read of Amarettos passing but he lives on here at ST's with his stunning and oh so like him grand son Airel who is a Satin Yellow and cream free


Also still going strong at 20 Months is Shamika who is Armaretto's Daughter by Stowaway/AKA Swiss Miss

Great Great grand daughter Through Ahuva is 14 month old LH Chocolate Tort Ahave

Great GreatGreat Grandson is Khaluda a 6 month old Rust SH who is also my icon picture

Shamika's last litter was only two pups but I kept the female even though she is Umbrous Black Tort carrying Cream I need to find my cord so I can upload her photos, but she carries on his super temperament and has good size.
And his Yellow Grand son Lavi who is 18 months old now is enjoying his new life as a spoiled pet and his owner adores him very much.



Sorry to learn of Arya's passing she was such a stunning beautiful girl. It's wonderful to see the results of your hard work to bring healthy and better qualities in your Hamstery. I enjoy watching the Videos of the Gus Army what a wonderful litter they are turning out to be.

I still managed to get a cuddly black & white dwarf, his coat is black & his feet, tail & chest are white

Nice to see you here again, Hekomi. Pumpkin's looking gorgeous as ever (the other hammies are sweet too, but I have a fave!)

I will definitely try to pop by more often! As I'm sure you all know, hamstering is a full time job, haha. Plus my actual job... we're so busy. Thank you! A friend made the outfits.

Lovely to see so many descendants! They're looking lovely. JD is quite dark, so I'm hoping inherited Grandpa Amaretto's darkness, despite being a melanistic yellow. I have yet to get more yellows, but time will tell. A big litter is certainly exciting.

Hehehe, thank you! I love Pumpkin. She's so shy and reclusive, but honestly, she's the best. I think I have serious Chinesey fever, and I'm going to be very sad when I don't have her around anymore.

Some updates. Our 15 pup litter is almost all home. One of them goes home on Saturday, and then all have been rehomed. All went to amazing pet homes that met or exceeded my standard of 360sq in cage, 8"+ wheel, among other requirements. Many bought our new bucket wheels (another adventure my OH and I have begun) so I know they're running safely! We still have about 35 people waiting for hamsters from us.

Here are the keepers a bit more "grown up" and in our Christmas photoshoot. They are still too small for the costumes, of course.



Jubilee is doing well, and has adjusted to life by herself. She's quite small, which is not necessarily a surprise as she had 14 brothers and sisters. She is sweet, though has been jumpy since splitting from her siblings. She had the best natural temperament of the bunch, and her type is a big improvement on dad's. She does not seem to like my other-half, aka Hamdad.



Not sure if that photo will work... I'll fix it later if not.

JD is doing well, darkening with everyday. He is a sweet little cuddle bug who DOES adore Hamdad. I'm excited to work him into my lines and see if we can keep this darkness to him like Amaretto.

Everyone else is doing fine and we should hopefully have a few more litters before the year is out.
