My brother asked me to get a hamster for my niece for Christmas so I have an extra hamster in the hosue right now. Isn't she cute?




I love the white stripe on her forehead.

She is beautiful Karen...

be sure to let us know what your niece names her.
She will be thrilled.


PS...rumor has it that Karen's guest hamster is a boy.

She's adorable. My next door neighbor was taking care of her granddaughter's new hamster and she had babies while at Grandma's which was a surprise to everyone.

Jana, I think a few more people will be getting surprises. After looking at hamster sexing diagrams (yes, there is such a thing
) I have determined that this new hamster is a boy even though it was in the cage with the females.

My mother has been telling me to bring him back and get a girl hamster. Doesn't she realize they are all probably pregnant?

It would be, especially since I wouldn't have to be there to explain it all to the 6-year old.
Hmmmm.....My brother has been annoying lately.

I just did a little web search about the gestation period for hamsters...
That cage of females is going to have a population boom very soon.


To your young neice....The Birds, Bees and Hamsters?

Well, if he gets anymore annoying you know how to get back at him


Just say "Oops, how was I supposed to know they were all pregnant?"
