[HammieandMerlin]

Yay! I am so glad all is well, I can't wait to see how they look at 9 weeks : ) They are so lovely in colouring, and it's gotta be something special having raised them yourself

Dave, I just want to commend you and your oh for the great job you've done. Seriously, here where I live (US-Michigan) so many hamsters are just treated as junk. They are not always cared for properly at all and it is so sad. The misinformation out there about hamsters is disheartening. To see a person actively try to help their newly-bought hamster recover from being in a new home, and then giving birth, and all the care and fretting you have done over these babies really warms my soul. Makes me think there is hope after all that there ARE good owners out there who research and want to do what's best.

THe pictures are simply darling of these little babies! And those popsicle sticks you used to build all those structures, are those all made by you? You have inspired me to make some for my next hamster. You should post some tutorials on how you made them, cause they truly are amazing. I am seriously considering getting a new one very soon. I have all the stuff and the bin cage and whatnot, I just need a hamster to love. Or maybe two.

Congrats on the new additions and my hats off to you and your family for doing such a great job. Thanks for posting all of this. I am definitely going to be bookmarking this page to see anymore updates!!!!

Thats so kind of you to say that, I really would have not done anything any different and would certainly take what care I could to take care of them than ever "dispose" of them.

As for the work with the stick structures, working on a couple of ideas and taking photos so will post when I finish each structure.

I'm glad to hear that you managed to find homes for the babies you couldn't keep

Glad the family is doing well. Great job by mum and her pet humans.
