SURPRISE!!!

Well, I guess MG's hamster (that we bought for her only a week ago) had a little surprise in store for us!! This morning we woke up to 6 babies in the cage!!!! I thought the night prior that she looked awfully big in her abdomen and after doing some reasearch online, I learned that once a hamster "shows", it is time to give birth! And that she did!!! I was worried that she would not adapt well to the babies and would freak out because we hadn't properly prepared her for the birth, but she seems to be doing well. She is quite protective of them. If she leaves them for a period of time, she will completely cover them in bedding and then go back to them when she is done. They are super tiny...maybe an inch long...and not too cute! But I am sure they will soon be super cute and we will grow fond of them!! The babies and mom cannot be seperated for about 6 weeks so we have a fun journey ahead watching the little ones develop!!Tiger quickly returning to her babies after seeing me!!
