Little Hamsters!

Our female hamster gave birth to a litter of seven pups on the morning of Aug 22, 2009! The pups are 3 days old now and mummy hamster just happened to carry them over to somewhere else where I could take some good shots.

I sneaked up on the pups and took the shots while the mother was busy elsewhere carrying the other pups over.

Aren’t they so amusing? They’re so small, you can’t really see the mouth… not until one yawns!

It seems the mother’s only interested in eating while the babies suckle away for some milk!
