Babies are now separated from their Mums, boys and girls in different cages.  They are a lively lot, quite jumpy but very friendly.  Having a lot of trouble deciding who to keep!
Mated Taj Sunset last night to Yoda, so fingers crossed for sable/cream & satin babies on the 8th March :0)

Well I've been handling the babies as much as possible, this week. They are growing well, the minks are particularly big and chunky, but there are some lovely cream roans in the other litter. I particularly like the SH mink girl and a LH cream roan girl, think I have at least 2 keepers in these litters.
We've had a sad week, lost my 2 remaining 2009 hamsters - Tristar's Callisto, SH BEC and Designer's Gabriel Agbonlarhor, LH Mink. Both of these boys have been with me a long time and were much loved. Sleep tight lads, sweet dreams xxx

Cleaned both litters out tonight and had a look to see what we've got.  Fey has got 3 cream boys and 1 roan boy, 4 roan girls and 1 cream girl.  It looks as though a few of them are going to be longhaired.
Shirley has 3 minks, 2 are definitely girls the third could be a boy but I'm not sure at the moment.
Have given them all cuddles and they are very cute. Love baby hamsters at this stage.
