Ayoh, so cute! The Mom is normal huh? She looks so pretty! From the pics, do you think 2 are normals and the other 3 are Argentes? I esp liked the close-up pic of the bbs on your hand! I have never touched bbs until they grow fur .... look too fragile. Any pics of the Dad?

haha... din reali take much pix of the dad... attention's now on the Momma... but will post some soon... yeap, tink 2 of them are taking their Momma's genes, and 3 others are taking Poppa's genes...
regarding abt carrying the babies... it's wiser not to handle the babies till their eyes are open, at the veri least... however, i muz state tt the Momma Ham is brought up by me, and is veri attached to me...
Momma Ham's mom passed away when she was juz a wk old, leaving behind her and 2 other siblings... the other two siblings were smaller in size than her, and didn't make it... b'cos of the lack of a 'mother figure', i guess i spend more time wif her than the other hams...
before i carried the babies, i played arnd wif Momma Ham first, so tt her scent wud b on my hands... yeap... oni then wud i carry her babies to take a pix... works for me, even wif other hams...

Wah! Moma ham is still so fat after giving birth! Envious! My Meimei became terribly skinny after she gave birth. But good thing she survived and managed to picked up on her size.
Sad that ur runt is gone. Perhaps it's a better thing that it's gone. Less torment for its growing stage.
