My Syrian just had babies!!

[Hope]

Love the play pen They look to be having lots of fun in there!

[RachK]

Aw they just get better everyday. They are so cute!!! All the pics have had me squealing in delight I especially love the one of Snickerdoodle looking up at the camera. Too darn sweet!
So is Griff a mink like my Poppy? Her coat is darker & more orange/rusty than his but I didn't get her as a young baby.

Yes, Griff and Snickerdoodle are my solid mink girls. Cinnamon Roll was CowGirl is my banded mink. Well, mine until the weekend.

Slight change in plans.

My eldest decided he really wanted a banded hamster instead of the solid sable more than he wanted a male vs female.

My friend who was taking CowGirl and a solid mink was kind enough to let us switch the sable boy for CowGirl. Now she will have two solids, but different colors and gender.

And we will have Sheila, the mom who is solid sable; Donut, who is the solid cream male and CowGirl who is the banded mink.

He still isn't going for Moo and has decided to call her Tex. I'm pretty sure she is going to be called "little girl" and Sheila will be called "momma" LOL

Aw, she'll still be Moo to me I'm glad she's staying with you!

[Katarina]

I'm pleased Moo is staying, although I'd have a very hard time saying bye to the sable boy (but that goes for all of them, so no biggie there!)

[AlexWyattMommy]

I think because we the sable mom, he wanted a different color for his. That and it really bothered him to give up a "whole box of babies". Now we are keeping one from each box.

The first mink girl went to her new home today. They brought her bin to me for her to travel home with them. We put some old bedding in the new bedding and put some of the "wet" bedding in the potty corner. Snickerdoodle showed no anxiety and explored the new bin for a while before settling down inside the edible hut to sleep.

Snickerdoodle is coming back in July for me to hamster sit. How great is that? Not only did I find great homes but I also found someone to hamster sit my babies when we go away next year too. We are looking forward to being able to see her again. We will also visit to see her growth progress.

The cowboys go to their new home tomorrow morning and then Lopez and the other girl mink go in the afternoon. All the babies will be in their new homes tomorrow.

We let Sheila have a little outside time this evening. We put up the metal wire playpen in the front yard and brought out the bin. It was easier to transfer her to the pen than putting her in a tube to travel outside. I have not seen her that excited before. She had a great time. We don't spray for weeds in the front yard and are quite a distance from our neighbors. We are over a 1,000 feet away. No pesticides to harm her.

We may take the babies out Sunday if the ground is dry from the rains we are expecting tomorrow.

I will add the last photos of the babies tomorrow to the album.

Thank you all so much for being here with me on this journey. It has been a great experience for us.

Oh my! Just caught up on the thread, I had missed hearing about your little ones - And WOW they're def not little anymore!! I can't believe how fast they grew (I can't believe I was away that long!). Glad you're keeping Moo, and can't wait to hear more of your wonderful antics, especially withthat amazing playpen, and the playing outside (which I'm sure they'll adore!).

Good luck little ones, enjoy your new homes!

Sounds like you have a great arrangement! You will probably have more room to relax with fewer babies to take care of
