💙Blue & Lavender Syrian Hamsters🐹✈️

In April 2023, while attending Houten 🇳🇱, I homed and brought back some pedigree blue & lavender 🪻(&dilutes) from some lovely breeders. Since then, almost a year on, we are 2 (soon to be 3 🤞) generations in now. I believe before April there weren’t any surviving dilute Syrians in England so it’s lovely to see them thriving!

I haven’t had too many dilute pups, mainly black hams that’s are carriers. Pups have mainly gone to other breeders and a lot have been kept!👀 You can see in the pictures truly how stunning the colours are. At the bottom, you can see a comparison of blue and black! (Lavender is the lilac shade 🐹) I’m so excited to see how the line grows this year, and hopefully we can expand them. 📈

*Hopefully won’t be long until I will have dilute pups ready for 🏡 but sadly not yet!

⭐️🐹PAISLEY & PATIENCE🐹⭐️

I took photos today of two very special hams ❤️. On the left of most of the photos is Paisley 🍀 who is just over 2.5 years old and currently my oldest living hamster. Despite her age she is still quite chunky 😆 and active, and has very little fur thinning. Despite her browning she is a dove tortoiseshell, the first dove hamster I ever bred! She has led a stunning line 💙

On the right of most of the photos is Patience ⏱️ who is 10 weeks old and Paisley’s Great Great Granddaughter 🎉 although not her first, in fact she has great great great grandchildren in the nest 😆, she is special. She is significant as her mother, one of her grandmothers, great-grandmothers & great-great grandmothers were all born with me and have helped improve different significant lines along the way ❤️

All of her descendants have been docile, loving and good mothers who have big litters! I have taken an average from her line and it was 14 in a litter 🤯 In total I have bred 15 of her ancestors and it is nice to see how they come along 🥰

Inbetween Paisley & Patience have been Prosperity, Prue, Peace & Penny ❤️ you can see the theme 😆 They’re all still alive also and mostly in retirement homes 🥰

I hope to have Paisley for as long as possible and glad to know her blood will live on long after her ⭐️

*NOTE THEY WERE ONLY TOGETHER BRIEFLY WHILE TAKING THESE PHOTOS AND BOTH ARE VERY DOCILE

🍪🐹 Roborovski Hamsters 🐹🍪

We have recently begun breeding a new species of hamster. Robos are a not so commonly seen pet dwarf species mainly because they’re known to be speedy 💨. However, since I’ve had these guys I’ve realised how chill and sweet they actually are. They have lots of energy, so need a wheel from a young age, but they have such a docile and sweet energy 🐹

We are currently only breeding agouti and blue robos, at the moment 😉, but their colours are just so sweet! In the last litter you can see our 2 current robo litters, with their mum. We will have males and females agouti 👁️ 4 new postcodes and possibly some blues 🥰 Can’t wait to see how these guys grow.

Yesterday I attended the MSHC Andover show with a few of our hams. Everyone did very well and we ended up winning Best in Show Syrian & Dwarf! 🥳🥳

Our boy Joey, a dove rex, was the Syrian winner and is such a cute ham. He’s only 12 weeks old and already looking so great 🐹 💙

Our dwarf BIS winner was Morocco, an agouti/normal Chinese hamster! He’s such a chilled and big boy and I can’t wait to see what pups he has soon 🥰

Our hams also won 13 other classes 🎉! Very proud of how everyone is coming along and so glad that the warmer weather has brought along lots of new little ones… 🍼 I will be posting some adorable videos in the coming days of some of our young pups and new addictions 🤫

Meet Hallie 🥰 I don’t often do spotlights for our hams but Hallie is just so stunning (and if you cannot see she is also expecting 🤰) and her pattern won’t have been seen too much!

She is a dove Russian shadow banded tort. Making her the first quad coloured ham I have bred 😍. the 4 different colours/shades interacting are Juste stunning and I’m hoping she will have some daughters that resemble her.

She also has an almost identical sister but she is currently being moody 😂 (also expecting🤰) and I’m hoping this generation will be a successful start to my champagne outcrosses. Dove and champagne are the only two colour to show compatible with russian shadow and I’ve yet to breed champagne into the pattern.

I can’t wait to see any poitental champagne shadows either this gen (if we are lucky 😆) or next generation 🥰 Both Hallie and her sister (Hollie) have been mated to different champagne boys! I’m hoping we will have some stunning pups from them, keep an eye out in the coming weeks to see what they produce 🥺

Remember all, we do currently still have some pups 👀🏠 / I am attending a show in Dawlish, Devon on 4th March! If anyone in that area or surrounding is 👀🐹 let me know as you can /r e s e r v e/ a ham or come to show and see those on the table that are 👀🏠🥰

We have some stunning pups 👀🏠. All handled daily from birth! Proof of a suitable setup will need to be seen 🥰

🌟🥳🎉 HAPPY NEW YEAR 🎉🥳🌟

So much has gone on this year including bringing and breeding the first Russian Shadows to the UK! We have also moved into a new building, a dedicated space just for our animals 🐹🐰🐭

I have also attended most southern and midland hamster club (& some northern) shows and our hams have done so well, with various class wins across the year along with our first BIS 🏆🥳. I’m about to go into my 3rd year of showing next month and I cannot wait 😊

A recent new addition to our stud has been a couple of pairs of Chinese hamsters 🐹 & now also have our first pups! (as seen in first pic)🥰 Chinese hams are the most loving little bundles who cling to your finger and are just so sweet and I’m so glad to finally have some here 🏡

Also in the pictures are 2 recent Syrian and 1 winter white litter (none of which are currently available) that i am especially excited about going into the new year with 🌏.

I am also going to be in Doncaster at Bradford Champs on 21/01/23 to show some our hams 🐹 it can also potentially be an opportunity for some of you to home a ham from us if you are closer to the area. However, there are no sales 🪙 at this specific show so collections would have to be outside the event. The event is open to the public (an entry fee is to be paid on entry) but they cannot condone animal sales 🥰

Our goals going into 2023 now mainly include:

🌟🌟🌟
-Expanding our new Chinese ham population
-Improving the colour standard of our Russian shadows
-To have champagne be made a standard showable colour
-Continue to expand our Rex Syrian blood lines
-Cutting down our paper usage through online care guides and pedigrees
-To receive another BIS before the year is out 🏆
🌟🌟🌟

Hope everyone has had a lovely to start to the year and I cannot wait to see what the year brings. Please feel free to drop in the comments photos of hams you have homed from us, I would love to see them 🥰

Best Wishes,
Reece

👼🙏RIP HOPE 16/05/22-13/12/22 🐰♥️

Another heartbreaking loss, one maybe even closer to my heart. Earlier this week, Hope passed away following a battle with a vicious disease. Luckily everyone else remains healthy. Hope was the first bun I ever bred. In fact the first animal I ever bred myself. From the moment I saw her little white nose I knew she would be with me until her last breath. And she was 😞.

She was a very curious, slightly naughty but loving and affectionate soul. She was a devoted mother who foster two litters as well as raising her own litters. She was a natural, just like her own mum (my beloved Indi who is doing well 🤍) and was so caring and protective of her kits. Not long before she was retired and spayed, she weaned her last litter and two days later I had an emergency where another bun mum had abandoned and attacked her 3 week old litter. There was only one surviving kit (Angel 💛). I decided in an effort to keep her alive to try and give her a chance with Hope who had fostered before. Hope, without any fuss took her in as her own and instantly began feeding her.

Over a year later, Hope & Angel were inseparable and had a beautiful bond. Hope got to see her grandchildren flourish around her and she doted on them just as much as she did with her own. 🐰. I will forever miss this loving bundle who made me fall inlove with Nethies. In her last days, I made sure she was as loved and happy as she could. We even spent a day in the snow where she felt her happiest as she was free to roam. I love and miss you little bun, I haven’t quite worked out how I’m doing this without you. 😞♥️👼

🌟❤️ RIP HONESTY (2020-2022)❤️🌟

Yesterday, my little Honesty passed away after a short but brutal battle with pyometra. She was very close to my heart. She was born with me and was the first chocolate hamster I bred. From the moment she opened her eyes she has always been loving, sweet & curious.

I bonded with her and she constantly yearned to be held and petted. In her latter days she often fell asleep up my sleeve or in my hood for hours. She was a sensational mother who loved her pups dearly. She was so affectionate with them to the point where two of her daughters stayed with her until they were 14 weeks old living in harmony. I have three of her daughters and two of her grandchildren who will now continue her legacy.

I will forever be grateful for this beautiful bundle of fluff who gave me passion for my animals and showed me all the affection she could. Her spirit lives on especially through her grandson Raider who has her structure and gentle soul. Her granddaughter Honour was named in her remembrance when she first became ill and is too a stunning hamster. I will forever miss your little face 😞

Sleep well angel 👼❤️

🌟 NEW WINS 🌟

This weekend I attended another show in Shurdington! All the hams did very well especially my stunning shorthaired black rex Integrity ❤️ who won her class (Rex) against some pretty impressive cream competitors 🥰

She recieved only 1 point less than those who won BIS & RBIS so has done me proud! She is still only 15 weeks old so she has even more time to grow into an even more stunning ham 🐹

We also won 6 other classes with various other hams 🎖️! Can’t wait to attend the next show (last one of the year for me) in a few weeks!

11/10/2022

🌈❤️ Yesterday, while still away, I received the sad news that Melody had passed away. She was the ham closest to my heart. She will always be one of my favourites. She was 2 years old and passed due to old age after deteriorating health.

Melody didn’t have the best of luck along the way. Sadly she lost most of her first litter and had an awful miscarriage her second time around 😞. We almost lost her but she pulled through and continued for over a year 🥰

Through all that she still managed to become the matriarch of my dove line and passed down her kind, loving soul and sweet temperament down to her descendants 🙏

Thankfully I have her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren and great-great grandchildren 💎 and she was only a few weeks off meeting the next generation. She will always be remembered and her sweet little face will always be part of our lines 💙

There’s a very good chance that anyone who has had a hamster from me may be related to her and you will see they are just the sweetest🥺🌈 RIP MELODY 2020-2022
