The Stansies (+pics!) 15/08/2013 (Stan and Rosie)

[leedsgurl]

I am happy to announce the safe arrival of 'The Stansies' on the evening of 15th August 2013

Daddy Stan is a long haired cinnamon from my last litter (The Dexpops), and is just so laid back and loves cuddles.




We borrowed Rosie (who actually belongs to my mum) for mummy duties, so she is staying here until the babies are old enough to be separated from her. She is a long haired sable and also has a lovely temparament. Here she is with her baby bumps a few days before she gave birth:



The purpose of this mating was to continue my existing lines, and to hopefully introduce some size (as my hammies have previously been on the smaller side) as Rosie is a lovely chunky girl.

We plan on keeping one or two babies, and the rest have a few homes lined up, but we don't yet know how many there are. Of course if there are any that cannot be found loving homes, will stay here with us.

We expect all the babies to be long haired, with the possibility of sables, minks, creams and cinnamons.


Day 2:
Rosie is being a very good mummy and hardly leaving the nest. I've only been going into the room to give her fresh food and water, and leaving her in peace and quiet the rest of the time. I did get a very brief glimpse of a pile of pinkies in the nest so I know they are there, and I hear little squeaks every now and again. It's very important to leave new mums well alone at this stage - I'm looking forward to when they start toddling out the nest

Congratulations! Sounds like mum is doing a great job. Will look forward to seeing the babies when they are out and about

Considering how beautiful the parents are, the babies are bound to be gorgeous too. The waiting is the hardest!

With such gorgeous parents, it'll be nice to see the pups when they are ready for their debut! Congrats.

stunning parents! I'm excited to see the babies.

Thank you I can't wait either to see them!

Day 3:
Rosie is still being an excellent mum, dashing off the nest when I put food in then dashing straight back to the babies. I still hear little squeaks and suckling noises every now and again

The parents are both beautiful, I'm sure the babies will be gorgeous.

Day 5:
Rosie is continuing to do an excellent job with the babies. I get a brief look at the babies from a distance when I'm putting food in, and although I can't tell exactly how many there are yet, I would guess at 8 to 10. Some of them are starting to look darker than the others, and I can see at least one of the lighter ones has black eyes

Oh bet they will be so cute like mum and dad
