Baileys Babies - Video Diary

Spacemonkey · 01-24-2008, 08:55 AM

I have been filming the babies since they were born (well, since they were conceived as you will see...

) to make a video diary type thing and I finished it this morning.

Its good to watch them grow up in 4 minutes

Hope you all like it

what genes do the parents carry? all the babies look golden or umbrous golden, but the parents are cream

Ahh Spacemonkey - they look fantastic - what a lovely video.

*I'm sure you will correct me Spacemonkey, but I think that you said Smurf was an umbrous cinnamon? That may explain the umbrous goldens Bunsey, but we have had quite a lot of discussion on a different thread about what could be expected as there were quite a few different genes in the background. Is that right SM?

Anyway, whatever they are they are just so beautiful. I love the way they were shown sleeping! It just passes so quickly doesn't it?

Lovely video Spacemonkey. You have a nice selection there and they look nice and healthy. Are there any sables? Not sure if I saw some eye rings. I like the little one galloping on the wheel when he is so tiny.

You are spot on Spud's Mum, Smurf is a Umbrous Cinnie, hes gone a bit of a pale diluted colour in his old age - hes 2 next month. The banded babies are the spitting image of his father Ozzy, who was also Umbrous Golden, its skipped a generation it seems

No Sables this time Souffle, makes a change! I normally get at least 1

The babies are 24 days old and growing so fast, they are into everything, and eat.... boy, can they! 3 bowls of dry mix a day plus their 'extras' egg/broccoli etc.

I'm sure Bailey gave birth to a plague of locusts!

They are gorgeous SpaceMonkey! Brilliant video - I especially like the bit where one is resting it's head on the other's belly.

Just made me even more broody than I already was!

Just seen the video, loved it, loved the bit where they are sleeping, never having bred hamsters it was interesting to see them develop

Really enjoyed watching your video, what a lovely keepsake of your litter. There are some heart-melting shots in there, especially the baby sleeping on his back. Did I count 9 babies?

Great video Spacemonkey

Loved seeing how they grew over time and what they got up to in between times. Laughed at the one near the end sleeping with the other on top

And the little cutie running in the wheel!

Thanks for sharing

Awww that is so cute, Spacemonkey - I watched it with Will and Patrick this morning (with a chorus of squeals at the really cute bits!) and we loved it. It's a lovely keepsake of the litter and my boys now want to do the same for our next litter (eek I have NO idea how

).

Gorgeous!
