well it was decided, what with the naming of all the new arrivals, that the babies deserved real names too.



the dark one is Stibbons, the light one is Hex, mainly as it gives you a look which clearly states ++out of cheese error please restart universe++



(must be confusing for those who don't know Discworld)

Cute but unusual names Nooboo! Are you keeping both hams?

not sure, it seems awful but I know which one I would let go, it all depends on the guy who lives above us really, if he seems really keen etc then I might be able just about to part, if not then I wont, I want hex to go somewhere safe and secure,



so it's sort of a case of play it by ear, oh and I guess make sure Dave knows he has not got a choice who stays or goes if it does come to this

Stibbons has only just been separated from mum. I know I left it late, but he was not doing so well, was half the size of Hex (oh and the names swapped, the dark one is Hex, the Banded Stibbons). He still wobbles when he walks.



When we separated him I had another go at sexing him, and am more sure now he is male, he just looked the same as Hex because of the great size difference, he does seem to have a knobbly top hole (sorry for the detail)



Hex is with us here, I was tempted to take Stibbons, but I think he really wouldn't have coped with the trip, he is rather nervous, wobbly and acts like a piece of popcorn. I will just focus on him when we get home!



I have recently taken lots of newer pictures of them, I guess I should put them up here!

I know those are rather blurred of Hex, but still so adorable! I love the one which makes her look like a squirrel



Stibbons is still a bit too wobbly and shy to get a good picture of

I can't wait to see clearer pictures - definitely some sort of Umbrous combination going on...

Hex almost looks like an Umbrous or Melanistic Yellow !!!! I think the colour will darken and she will actually turn out an Umbrous (or sooty) Golden. As the Umbrous gene is dominant it is likely that it came from Ponder as she was quite darkly ticked.

She certainly looks like a Golden Umbrous although I suspect dad Si may be showing Umbrous too so she could be double dose if Ponder is too...



Try to see if you can get a shot during the day with no flash on a neutral background of her and Si again. If she is Umbrous it may have come from Si as he does have quite dark ticking showing in some of the pictures. Look forward to seeing a good photograph of Ponder when you get back, and Stibbons too.



Matinee_92 (Helen) has a lovely Yellow Black or Melanistic Yellow as they are often known - Tumble - maybe she will show us some photographs if she gets the chance?



Someone needs some bitter nail polish too by the state of those nails :oops: :roll: I was a nail biter myself when I went to University but my New Year's Resolution at 21 was to stop and I haven't ever done it since :roll:

Pictures are quite bright but when I turned off the flash it just couldn't focus :twisted:



Mum got me the hazelnuts from the woods so nice and fresh and the hamsters seem to love them - she has a few sunflowers in paper bags drying out as we speak for their Christmas :lol:

My other boy with the really dark spectacles wouldn't pose at all kept running too fast to capture :twisted: this wee guy is still just a baby he will hopefully get a lot darker after he has finished moulting...
