Ok, so a few weeks ago I posted about our newest additions, Princess and Peanut (hampsters, by the way...). Only a few days after getting them, Princess died of unknown reasons. We think that she was eating the sealant off the cage (an old 10 gal. aquarium). So I called my friend that we got them from, arranging to get another one from her. We did and within a few hours, it was clear that they WEREN'T going to get along. I called my friend yet again and she said no problem just bring the 2nd hampster back and get another one - again! So we did. Within a couple of days I realize something was different. The newest hampster (Popcorn) was a little slower... sleeping a lot more than Peanut and hoarding food down to her bedding... Yes, you guessed it, she was pregnant. Sometime while with my friend, the boys and girls got mixed up and well... When I called my friend to tell her and ask what I should do, she told me that she also had a new "batch" of baby hampsters. This last weekend, Popcorn had her babies. We cannot see them all that well, but because she is in the aquarium, the bottom is glass! So we moved it off the edge of the shelf, able to see their little pink bodies squirming around! At last count there are at least 10 - I think. Yikes!
Now, what to do with baby hampsters?
A family of 5, with 3 big little monsters... trying to keep it together, making it one day at a time, all by the Grace of God!
