The colony continues...

  Bub has gone to a new owner who requires his breeding prowess.  A good handful of babies from Pipa's last  litter have found new homes with children and the rest live on.  I still have two young males, 3 young females, Pipa, Priss and Spinal.

Bubby waves goodbye to his fans.  

  To display the young ones for sale, I had all the females and males in one tote.  Recently after a sale, I placed the remaining females back into the main tank since the young males have started gyrating profusely on the females.  I know in the past this can be risky business, so I wasn't too surprised when someone had some battle damage.  The fattest of the young females tried to interrupt the pecking order after returning to the tank and this is the result:

Ms. Harvey Dent hamster.
So I will name her Ms. Dent, since she can't close the left side of her mouth anymore.  She is very healthy though, still running on the wheel and even storing food in the other cheek as if nothing is wrong.  I will proceed to spoil her rotten and make sure she heals.  Here's some more pics to cheer you up if you got queasy from seeing that:

Lil Turd.  King of the late night wheel.


Gizmo, currently in my girlfriend's possession.

This female is quite the princess, almost hand tame.

This runt sold to a little girl.  She managed to get her  to calm down, something I never achieved.
Can't please every ham....
