Recently, herby and gerby have begun to nest. A common sign that babies are coming, because they don't really bother building a bed to make the babies.
But, gerby's tummy is still quite flat, and it's still above my palm when she's on. Besides, she is actually smaller than herby now, and she was larger than him about 3 weeks back.
Wait, so they are...11 weeks old now. That's mating age actually. I really don't know, except that we can only wait and see.
Oh yeah, recently they have been sleeping together a lot, sometimes even just resting together with their eyes closed. Sounds like a protective dad-to-be eh.
If their gestation is 28 days, and the likely maturity is 8 to 10 weeks, then in about 2 weeks gerby should be showing. Like, pear shaped and with a rippling tummy.
We shall see!
Meanwhile, peanut and butter are having their own fun, oblivious to the potential baby factory next to them (we hope!) =D they were very guai today, allowing me to hold them for more than a minute each, before I let them explore their new toy again, and let them play with my hand which they used as a tunnel and a slide and a climb-over all-in-one =D
What fantastic hamsters they are!
Yikes, but they peed in the box. I guess that could not have been helped. But I wiped it and hope it dries up =)
