help?!

[kimmmy]

my female hamster gave birth to about 9 babies about two months ago. six of them look like the father (white and albino) and three looked like the mother (tan). unfortunately, I cannot keep all of them. my parents do not want the white ones in the house because they look like mice. I called pet stores and animal shelters and no one will take them. any suggestions?

Have you tried posting adverts for them on online websites?
If they were an unplanned litter then this website has a section you could advertise them in, and in the UK places like gumtree and preloved are always good to advertise pets.

If you knowingly mated the hamster yourself kimmy then it is your responsibility to keep any hamsters you cannot home. You should never have bred them if you are unable to do this.
White hamsters are the most difficult of all to home for exactly the reason your parents object to them. They are not popular at all for some very odd reason because they are just as lovely as a coloured hamster.
Put ads in local stores and newpapers and try and emphasise how lovely and hand tame they are, how friendly and cute and home reared so healthy too. Don't mention the colour - just say various colours available and let them sell themselves when the people come to look. Make sure they are very tame and will make good pets.
Otherwise you need to set up extra cages I'm afraid and look after them.
If you did breed them please don't breed anymore as you don't want to be trying to place them in rescue.
However if the mother came to you pregnant then you can put them on our adoption boards and see if anyone is interested.

i hope you manage to find good homes for them.

white albino hams are one of my fav colours!!

advertising online is a great idea, i always look on sites such as pre loved & gumtree before i look anywhere else

There should be maybe a small animal rescue in your area. Search for one by just typing in animal shelter or animal rescue in (whatever city you live). Like the others said certain websites should also be helpful. I like souffle's ideas about how to get moer people to be interested in adoption.
