ROTFLMAO!! I love that last photo lol, i's so cute! Yes the Mandarins are cool, I believe I've seen photos of some that were brighter orange than that? But they still are all very cute, I thought they were Campbells, Oopsey! :oops:



Do you have any photos of baby hamsters, in their stages of growth from birth to maturity? You have good photos, and I'm looking for pictures of that for my breeding section.

I am moving on sunday to a new house where I will have a dedicated hamstery room compleatly changing the setups and shelving so I shall take you photo's of that when they are set up and I believe I have both a campbells and a ww litter due next week so I shall photo diary those for you.



The mandarins do vary in colour some go very light some go very dark some even look dirty!!

Thanks that would be great! But I need clear photos, so no picture of pups but through the bars of a cage and so on, I want people to be able to clearly see them. But yes that would be grea! iv been looking for quality photos of pups development for a while!

is this the kind of thing you are looking for?

[SnuggleHam]

Yes it is :P Ideally I would like to see pictures of the same litter from the time they are born to the time they mature, so if you could get pictures of that from the next couple that's due it would be great!

I'll try my best if Salt gives birth like I expect her too then I should have no problems. A few of the others unless they have their nest in the open I wont be disturbing, but Salt, Marmalade, and Kanga are ok with me taking photographs and looking from a distance

Awww they are absolutely adorable - I think I prefer the pearl patterned Mandarins (no offense Marmalade - they are your wee ones after all :wink: ). And even better in the flesh :oops: :wink:



Pictures to follow soon... Do you have their pedigrees to hand?
