I adopted out Jelly's first litter today. They were 6 weeks old and ready to go to homes. A sweet older lady took them for her grand kids. I was in awe when they were ooooOooing and such over them. I was waiting as long as I could but there was a reason I had to just jump the gun like I did. Last night, I looked in Jellys cage and Butters was asleep. Then there they were. A few itty bitty babies. I counted one after another, dug around the cage and found 8 tiny Robo Dwarf Hamster Pups. I was in complete AWE!
They are well taken care of and fed, not to mention I have educated myself about them and I play with them daily. I have decided to make this post to educate everyone about these little critters. I want to say one thing: If you are not educated on breeding please do not attempt it. DO NOT handle the babies unless mom trusts you and you are educated on how to handle them. I learned a lot from this awesome site on EVERYTHING you need to know about Robo Dwarf Hamsters. Check it out , you will learn A LOT! I will be posting one picture a day to show how they progress and grow, up until this litter is weaned and adopted out.
Progress Litter #2: There are 4 girls and 4 boys!

Bre - thank you so, so much for posting those pictures of Jelly and the wee ones! They are absolutely adorable!!! I had a hamster and guinea pigs as a child and I'd forgotten how teeny the babies are when they are born!!! They are just so cute! Thanks for sharing - and for educating! I totally had to Pinterest and Facebook that amazing photo of Jelly and her munchkins!
