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 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!

10/20/2024

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.

4 week old hamster pups!

A very sweet black long haired male from Dunlora and Claus that had NO idea they had a squishy poo from a sibling directly on their back. But they didn’t really care.

Time to wash hands!

We have several black long haired hammies from Dunlora and they are exceptionally sweet.

That little leggy sticking out is classic. As suspected our torties are a little busier, but some of our males are too! That being said, I’m really happy with the temperament of all these pups and when you have 30 (from only two litters!!) that’s a win!

Introducing Charmaine and Bernard’s 15 pups! Some of these pups were truly difficult to color ID as red eyed rust, Russian shadow cinnamon, and rust can look similar. I was hoping Bernard did not carry rust- but sometimes the odds aren’t in your favor! Otherwise we are very happy with this litter, and it will be challenging to choose hold backs!

On a side note- pls ask our mamas and papas to consider producing SMALLER litters. 😅

Introducing Dunlora and Claus’s 15 pups!

10/08/2024

Drama doesn’t know her fur coat is quite dramatic! She just won the tort lottery! A few folks truly lost their marbles when I posted earlier videos of her (hence her name). Most comments were very kind, some comments were really unexpectedly mean and well, illogical, but that’s the internet for you!

We have a few pups left from Beck and one left from Mood. I am slowly making my way through our list! Meanwhile, Dunlora and Charmaine’s litters are being weaned at the end of the week. Stay tuned- they are very pretty!

25 pups and a photo of one our mamas! Enjoy! I’ll be reaching out to folks on our waitlist for selection starting this week.

Teddy Bear, Panda Bear, Fancy Bear, Black Bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy was a Bear… What do these names have in common? They are all improper names for Syrian hamsters.

In the 80’s, pet stores coined all kinds of names to try to upcharge long haired hamsters, black hamsters, and really any hamster they deemed “fancy”.

It’s a scam guys! Hamsters only have species and Syrian hamsters do not have breeds. Reputable breeders will NOT try to sell any hamster at a higher price because they have a gene mutation. Run, don’t walk, to your nearest reputable Shelter, Rescue, or Hamstery.

FOUR WEEK old bebes having a nap. It’s a snoozy afternoon, but someone doesn’t want her bum to be a pillow.

10/02/2024

Welcome to Charmaine’s 15 two-week old pups! We have lots of Cinnamon, Russian Shadow Cinnamon, silver grey, cream, and ivory. Lots of shiny satins!

Beck and Mood’s litters were weaned yesterday. We will be taking photos of them this weekend!

Dorothy’s pups have mostly headed home except for 2.

Hand-taming is going splendidly for our 3 week olds with some very sweet and wiggly pups!

09/28/2024

As I’ve mentioned, we have some BIG litters! Mood and Beck’s litters are being weaned next week, Charmaine and Dunlora’s litters turned two weeks old. Our waitlist is looking pretty good at the moment, we could potentially have a few more spots open, especially if folks decide to wait for whatever reason.

Both Bradford and his son are golden umbrous, but look at that color difference! This pup is my current favorite in the litter, but has none of the color, pattern, and fur type genes I would like to preserve for my breeding program 😂.

Blue Moon is almost 10 weeks old and is growing up beautifully! She reminds me a lot of her mom Calypso in looks but so far she has a bit more of a cobby body conformation which is nice to see.

Blue Moon carries polywhite from her pop Lughnasa (bred by ). Polywhite plus dominant spot often makes a really nicely patterned hammy. We plan to breed Blue Moon to either Gruff (a chocolate Ds polywhite carrier) or possibly Hammibal (a chocolate Ds who could possibly carry polywhite). Fingers crossed for more polywhite Ds hopefully this winter!

We still have spots for our two youngest litters from Dunlora and Charmaine. Both of these mamas have big gorgeous litters and I can’t wait to introduce them.

Sadly, we are not going to breed Bonita Applebum and she is available to go to a new home at our retirement fee of $35. I’ll post a video of her soon! I adore Bonita, but she can be nervous at times and we simply have better candidates for our program for both temperament and body conformation. If you have been following our account- you know how much I’m bummed over this. Bonita is a silver black banded carrying cinnamon and rust. She was perfect for our color goals, but I think she will also be a perfect pet for someone.

We held back Elderberry, Jam, and Violet from Bessie’s litter to consider for our program! We are going to attempt to breed Violet- she is just amazing in all ways. Jam has had an unexpected glow up and we are going to keep him for a while We will be placing Elderberry on breeder contract.

Most of our retirees have homes lined up. Charmaine likely has a home lined up, Beck is still looking for her perfect retirement home.

Please reach out if you are interested in adopting Bonita, Beck, or Elderberry!

We had a possible home lined up for Miss Charmaine, but it fell through! She is currently nursing an enormous litter (yes the fur will grow back on her belly) and will be weaning her pups in a few weeks.

We would love for her to go to a retirement home where she can be spoiled and treated like the queen she is. Charmaine has a lovely temperament! Please reach out if you are interested in giving Charmaine a home.

Beck’s pups! They are almost 3 weeks old.

Just a little toot growing up. 🖤 🧡 🤍
