this past wednesday our siberian hamsters had babies. specifically adu knocked up elliot and now we have 3 babies. they’re about the size of a nickel or maybe half way between that and a quarter. one is starting to get kind of black but the other two are still pink. elliot is taking great care of them. we gave her this blue half log that she has packed with bedding till she can barely move in it. she gave birth in there this past week. amy and i were suspecting something since she was hoarding food, being very territorial with adu, stealing his treats, and was running around like she was on speed. sounds like most women doesn’t it? anyhow, i’ll try and get some pictures up today or tomorrow on my site, they are pretty darn cute.

this is a smallish slideshow (324k) of our new siberian hamster pets. they are so cute and small. these pictures were taken with a sony digital camera and later processed in iphoto where it was turned into a quicktime slide show.

amy and i broke down yesterday and picked up some siberian hamsters. her friend steve had a few that recently had a litter he was trying to get rid of. after seeing her ogle over them for what seemed like hours we decided to get some. i do admit that they are very adorable. we have one female that is light gray (elliot) and one male that is dark gray to black (adu). we bought a 10 gallon fish tank and a bunch of other stuff for them to play with. they’re still getting acclimated to my house but i think they should be ready to start playing and goofing more. so now we have 15 kids (13 plants and 2 hamsters) in the house. speaking of which, i came really close to buying another cool plant this weekend. home depot is the work of the devil, i know it!
