Come visit! We could use a ham sitter. Teddy, Almond, Nutmeg and Yoda can bunk with us. Full house!

Thank you! I couldn't believe it when I saw them, I was SO jittery on the ride home!!!

Tort is a sex linked trait, so only females get it. I'm not 100% sure how it works in hamsters, but essentially both mum and dad need to be a carrier for it, and it hooks onto the "X" chromosome.

They're both technically tortoiseshell and white, and banded. I can look it up.

LOL! That's adorable! SO and I were thinking either Macchiato or Corretto.

[Esmy]

I misread Coretto and thought it said Correcto- reminded me of a laxitive Correctol. lol

Never heard of Correto. Cute names though!

[BrainGirl]

Oh wow, those are absolutely gorgeous hamsters! I want one now! *starts calling airlines to inquire about hamster shipping charges*

[DrKMcK]

LOLOLOLOL! Do you know? My second job years ago was as a clerk in the Ex-Lax laxative company. For true! I would never eat the chocolate bunnies they made at Easter LOL . Correctol. Love it. And, on that note, I'm off to bed.

[BrainGirl]

Are you saying the Ex-Lax company actually made bunny-shaped laxatives?!

[Hekomi]

Laxative hamster I think Corretto will be our winner, since we can call her Cora for short.

Thanks BrainGirl! I was so surprised to see them there, and the colours were so loud and flashy!

LOLOLOLOLOL! No! They made them for the employess at holidays, with only regular chocolate. Back in those days they had a cafeteria for us and served really great lunches. I really enjoyed working there.

... are you sure? :P Chocolate laxative bunnies. Delish.
