...almost definitely pregnant. - Page 3

Yes she is at the moment, the wheel is on its side so I haven't moved it, but it is made of wood - it's a Wondaland wheel so I don't know whether I should take it out or just leave it.

Ooh ok then! I'm not really to sure what would be best to do tbh as I've never had a situation like this! Maybe others will have some advice about that

Soooo....I've found out what happened. I was out on Wednesday the 11th of June and I had asked my boyfriend to put Molly and Pippin out. He put them both in the bathroom, Pippin in the ball and Molly roaming free, and sat with them on his computer. He got completely absorbed in what he was doing, and suddenly looked up and saw that Pippin was out.

I bought Pippin a new ball several weeks ago, as his previous ball had broken, and I didn't put it together properly, so when John put the lid on, it didn't lock as well as it should have done and he managed to get out.

When I asked him how long he thought they had been together, he said at most about twenty minutes, because he looked up when the twenty minute alarm had gone off. He hadn't wanted to worry me - especially after the weekend issue - and wasn't thinking about pregnancy - he was just glad they hadn't killed one another, and didn't want to mention it to me.

SO, I feel kind of guilty because I blamed my housemates, and also because I didn't put the ball together properly. I'm a little fed up he didn't mention it to me, but I also understand - I'm really highly strung and it would have stressed me out....so I can see why he wanted to avoid that. Since that day, he hasn't wanted to look after them, and I just thought it was something insignificant, but he was just worried about the ball.

I tried to explain that he shouldn't have put them together one in one out anyway (what if Pippin had bumped into Molly?) but in some ways I am so relieved it was an actual accident and done without malice that I'm OK about it.

So given this was the evening of Wednesday the 11th, the babies are due this Friday...am I right? I've sent some more photos to AmyHague by text and she thinks Molly definitely looks preggers - I am going to post more photos tomorrow here, but we are just about to go out so I don't have time.

Oh whew, I'm glad there was no malice involved. As stressful as the situation is at least there's not the added upset of that. So...baby watch! I'll be biting my fingernails right along with you if that helps at all

The one photo I have off corrie, she does look pregnant!

If she is anything like her mom Luna, she will have her pups through Friday night, and you'll have a slimmer Molly Saturday morning!

I bet it's exciting but pretty nerve wracking too. Poor lad, I can see my SO doing something similar.

I worry about my pet sitter doing that, because he says he doesn't know their names well. I did tell him and he met each one. I also told him they can't get together ever. I freaked shortly after I got back from my last trip a couple weeks ago when Penny made a huge nest. She isn't doing it now. I made a picture guide of who was who and e-mailed it. I need to print it apparently! I'm sure if he messed up, he would feel bad too. Accidents happen!

tell your SO not to feel bad... I've no doubt at all that my SO would accidentally do the same thing, thinking it'd be highly unlikely they'd ever actually get out of the ball, or end up out together for the hammy making moment :P
I'd clobber him upside the head for being a numpty, but I'd soon forgive him and settle into looking forward to the pups

Looking forward to seeing the pups that Molly has

I <3 baby hammys

Aw, poor little Molly. At least it was a accident and nothing with malicus intent

Sending thoughts your way xx

corrieberry · 06-25-2014, 03:13 AM

Right, I'm starting to feel a bit more enthusiastic about this now that I'm less angry about it. She has been a very busy girl with nesting, and is becoming more....I don't know, purposeful in her movements. She had a little bit of chicken last night and thought that this was the best thing since the bit of egg biscuit I gave her on Monday!

So, photos:
