Wizard was in rare form tonight. Not in heat, just all speedy business. I can’t emphasize how much I love this hamster, she has improved upon both her parents’ temperament by my evaluation, and I’m hearing such good feedback from her sibling owners. She magically has kept the best conformation from both, and is just generally a lovely sweet girl.
Do you prefer shorthaired or longhaired? I prefer shorthaired for patterned hamsters but I absolutely adore my enormous long haired monoliths like Oslo!

While we wait patiently for hopeful next litters, enjoy this very sweet video of Oslo and his siblings munching on kale from several weeks ago. This has been one of my favorite litters yet!
We are still looking for a retirement home for Mazzy. Additionally Violet from Pearl Hamletry may be available for retirement as we believe she is likely infertile. Both hamsters would make lovely pets, though Violet is much younger.
Lastly, after growing out Harvest and Butternut a few extra weeks, we have decided to keep Harvest and pet home Butternut. I have not made a decision on the two silver grey males- we may keep both for a while longer.
Please message me if you think you might be interested in Mazzy, Violet, or Butternut!

We are growing out four lovely pups from Charmaine and Bernard- Butternut, Harvest, Magic, and Calabaza. There are subtle strengths and weaknesses in each. We will continue to assess over the next few weeks!

Just a lil’ bedhead from our lovely Jam!
Tonight I defended my amazing reputable breeder group. This is a welcoming community I joined nearly a decade ago as a novice breeder. My mentors are wonderful, brilliant, and experienced folk who have shaped my ethics and practice.
I’m quite tired of the gaslighting and rug sweeping from the rodent mill leaders of North America and their minions.
Just a reminder,
It’s not ethical to breed eyeless white mama hamsters just to produce an entirely roan litter for profit.
It’s not ethical to breed hairless or partially hairless hamsters. Hamsters depend on their fur for temperature regulation.
It’s not ethical to keep hamsters in 10 gallon tanks or rodent racks with zero enrichment. ALL rodents are sentient and feeling creatures with needs for a fulfilling and enriching life.
It’s not ethical to procure breeding hamsters from unethical breeders, even if you intend to do things differently!!
Check out @californiahamsterassociation to learn about ethical hamster breeding code.

More moods than I can fit in a reel, but we adore hamsters!

Look at Drama’s big stretch!
I’m hoping to post an indepth update on our breeding plans for winter soon, but a quick update- we have had some trouble breeding Mazzy and Violet (Violet from Pearl Hamletry). We have tried a few times with both females. We will see how the last attempts go, but I have other hamsters that will be ready to breed in a couple weeks.
If you are interested in a hamster right now, I suggest checking out Pearl Hamletry's Hamsters in Rockville, Md.
This pretty toot named Luffa will be going to @pearl_hamletrys_hamsters to possibly make more satiny pups just like her in the future!

Honestly feel so sad for the other wheel.
They are turning 6 weeks this week, they are getting along fabulously but will be separated soon, as is standard. Hush.

At nearly 18 months, Whimsy is doing wonderfully!
He’s ok, just sleepy! They were 4.5 weeks old in this video!

Introducing Egg! We have decided to keep her, and she is our only hold back from Dunlora’s litter! She is very sweet and cuddly and I love her fuzzy little face.
