Next Litter Due (photos of parents) + of Babies!!

[Moosley]

Thank you on behalf of my babies!

I forgot to mention that Bessy is due on the 14th this month hehe!

Hello Moosley. Do I know you as Skwee or possibly Kitty Kitty from the dim and distant past? I remember the original Moosley! I loved her. She still features on the 'What colour is my hamster' article'. Looking forward to meeting the pups when their eyes are open.

You remember right Souffle! I was Skwee(that poor mite didnt last long, he was a happy valley cream with a tumour, couldnt get breeders number to let her know she had that in her lines....)

KittyKitty is Kat, the main part of Thames Valley Rodents (though I do wish she would register that name!) I do the manual work and am building up my hamster so I dont have to keep referring to Kats hamsters. Syrians are my babies anyways, Kat prefers the exotics, rats, mice, snakes, fish and so on!

We'll see when we can get photos, due to the shed been kept at a constant nice warm temperature, pretty much all our syrians have very open nests and as they are all so laid back (i know who the exceptions are) i might get photos before eyes are open (though i will never take risks with her first litter).

I have a Ghost Yellow with 7 pups in the nest but apart from food and water, im leaving her be, she is very young (accidental litter, she got pregnant at 6 weeks damn!) Though she does demand to come out!

they are going to be gorgeous, shame your too far away from me

I'm afraid I've no will power and have asked Moosely for a Black Dom Spot if there's one in there (failing that a Black Tort Dom Spot) - I think Bessy and No-Name are stunners and I couldn't stop thinking about them after seeing their piccies this morning. Will and I also talked to Chris Logsdail quite a bit about producing good Dom Spots at Highworth - this little beauty will be a sort of birthday pressie for Will as he loves them.

There really isn't any hope for me but I'm happy and I think our hamsters are too :P

oh how lovely Julie, can I have a cuddle and be an honorary auntie? I would love a pup from these two, but really have to stick to my plans at the moment otherwise the house will be over run and Rose will have to move out!
I am really quite envious though, and will await litter updates with baited breath Moosley and Julie!

[Holly]

Of course you can Teresa! I'm thinking ahead with my plans too, perhaps one of Aero's babies will make a good mate for Moosely's Black Dom Spot baby

I know now what Will will call the Dom Spot if it's male - he's nuts about Barnyard and the baby will, I'm sure, be named after Otis, the "lead cow" :P

Congrats Julie, I have to admit that I am really considering a baby from this litter, with much encouragement from my mum.... I just have to work out where he or she would fit in with my plans.

I will have to see the little darling and have a cuddle once you get him/her!

Nope - that one is lost on me - obviously I dont watch enough CITV, Nickelodeon or whatever!
How will that fit in with the chocolate theme though Julie? Though actually at the rate you are going with increasing your hamstery, you will soon be reduced to using hamster names such as
"family size" and "fun sized" rofl!

I thought Oreo would be a good name for a black dom spot too, though I guess it is quite a predictable one!

I guess this is a good idea for a second generation from Aero Julie, and if you get some good ones from 'Kookai'?? & Aero, would produce some lovely offspring. Now Im not promising I wont be tempted by one of them (I'll have had chance to work on Arti by then!!)

(and Yay! I can cuddle a new chocolate baby!)

here's a name you might use considering a Syrian hamsters general asocial temperament - Bogough.
Think about the pronunciation - there's two ways...
Or how about :Golden Bowlocks
Or : Browny Testee Coll
The last 2 two being obvious puns.
Or : Cannybis considering the males laid back attitude like mine.
