Here is the first photo of our baby hams that we were able to take! They're about a week old now, having been born the day after we realized the little slut was preggers.

If you disturb her too much or cause her stress, she'll, well, eat the tiny purple turds. So, yeah, we keep our distance. But I had a moment of opportunity and took a photo today. So we finally know there's at least three! Three tiny purple turds baby angels.

They stay buried in the huge nest their mom made for them pretty much always. The mom will leave to grab food and then disappear back into it.

Man, how do these things work out? I mean, she started building a nest a few days before these kids popped out. How did she know? No one ever told her how to care for babies, but then she totally does. She even knows she has to build a nest for them.

But then, hams tend to cannibalize their young, so it's not a foolproof thi

OMG

(Oh, hey, 95% sure Athena, our hamster, is pregnant. She's nesting, there's a huge lump in her tummy which is MOVING CRAZILY, and she used to be the SMALL one, so uh oh. Which means Boomer is a boy! Make as many Original Series jokes as you like. Us, we're busy getting the cage clean in preparation and deciding whether to keep the little sister-fucker in there.)

Boomer & Athena

It is our new family members, Boomer and Athena!

(We are nerds.)

(And because we didn't like the names Susan and Sharon, which would have been a more dorky reference than nerdy.)

(Though I guess we kind of ended up with Sharons either way.)

I must bring this darling ham to the attention of the wurld!
