They are cute. Rhapsody, thanks for the pictures. I love your baby animal pics. I have had hamsters and gerbils several times, and they are neat. We had lots of gerbil babies and made playgrounds and things for them.

Dwarf hamsters are really cute too, but I was disappointed in them and won't have the dwarfs again. Their life-span is a lot shorter, and they are vicious with each other. Ours had two litters of babies one right after the other (I think it was less than 3 weeks in between), and then the mom died when the second litter was too young to be weaned. The babies made it though. And the daddy hamster died soon after that, and he wasn't very old. Only a few months. We found homes for the babies and decided if we ever get hamsters again it will be the bigger ones.
