Oh lord. No, that isn't a pink bean you're seeing, it's a baby Roborovski Hamster. I suppose we rolled the dice by getting two of them. But hey, the internet said that they live longer when they are kept in pairs.
Mama and Papa had a bit of escapee drama over the weekend with Papa being awol for around 18 hours. Guess he couldn't stand being around the pregnant lady anymore?
I discovered the pink bean as I was looking in their little tv house and I realized there was something pink and wriggling... and it wasn't either of the two "girls". I am so laughing right now.
Oh, and time to move Papa to some new digs. It seems that Mama can get knocked up again right away. I guess our computer room is too warm, hubby is reading a site that says that robos tend to breed in early spring/summer following the year of their birth.
Great googly moogly.

Hee. Reminds of when we got my son some guinea pigs. They both really WERE girls but Snuggles came to us apparently knocked up at a very young age. I was cleaning their cage and lifted up the little cardboard house - Snuggles suddenly started that 'weee weee!' sound and there was a tiny pink/white baby! She was so proud.
My son promptly named his female pink/white guinea pig Martin - after MLK as she was born on his birthday.
Woo hoo, baby beans! Lucky, luck you! Lol. Isn't that always the way with "Girls".
I had two female mice in college. Everything was fine until a friend of mine rescued a little white lab mouse that she had from some biology class. She "thought" it was also female. Nope!
I ended up with something like 20 mice. Whoops.
Birds, bees and beans
