With a sudden explosion of babies, and a warm up in the weather forecast, I believe it may actually be spring!
On 4/20 a new litter of gerbils arrived. I believe there are six, and so far it looks like three are dark (agouti) and three are light (argente). Then 4/22 brought the arrival of another litter of gerbils. I believe there are seven and all should be colorpoint.
Today (4/24) the brown velvet chinchilla I worried hadn't been pregnant surprised us with tiny twins. She's not the greatest mom, so I am housing her with the homo beige female who just weaned the tan male baby. The twins appear to be one male tan, and one female of undetermined color (beige? tan velvet?). It'll be interesting to see her grow up a bit.
New litters are expected soon from the Dalmatian dwarf hamster, and possibly two of the guinea pig ladies who are pleasantly plump.
In other news, the tan male chinchilla kit and the argente dwarf hamster are now old enough to find forever homes. I've also decided to start retiring my Syrian (teddy bear) hamsters, as I'm not breeding them as much as I used to. I've got three of them listed on the Hamster page.
Yesterday Papa and Chiko the rescue chinchillas finally found a forever home. It sounds like they'll be very well cared for, and definitely well loved.
