Teddy the Hamster

On November 10th, Brian finally got his hamster, which was promised to him for his birthday in January. She is a teddy bear hamster, so he named her Teddy. She is very sweet.

We thought Teddy might be a boy, so you can imagine our surprise when exactly one week from when we brought Teddy home, she had babies. Brian came running out of his room, with true excitment in his voice, saying "Mommy, Teddy had babies and I'm not lying." I hoped he was joking around, but itwas true. Right there in the middle of the cage were 8 pink, blind, naked baby hamsters.

We have about 4 to 6 weeks before they'll be ready to go to new homes. So far, I've lined up homes of 3 of them.
