Tic has given birth to 4 pups! 
Actually after I posted my last online msg on Thusrday nite (7/04/2005 nearly 11pm), I went to change her water and saw her come out of her hse and saw tt she's slim again!!! Then I looked in her house and saw the pups wriggling inside!!! She had actually given birth tt day!
Might be during the day or evening cos when I came back, the papa hamster (Toe) is snoozing outside the hse and the mama hamster (Tic) is sleeping inside the hse and at tt pt of time, I couldn't see any pups and tot she's juz sleeping so din disturb her.
What a surprise! Now they're 4 days old and the size of an almond.
But Tic is a bit rough with her kids and sometimes just ran out of her hse while the pups are still feeding & thus still attached to her belly! Poor pups are knocked ard and wriggling by themselves outside till she went back home and discover tt not all are at home! It's really a funny sight to see her carry the pups back to the hse! ;p
By the way I've separated the mum and father. Birth control...
One of the pups' leg got entangled in the tissue and was hanging upside down from the hse when I saw it! I quickly used a plastic 'tang ci' (dunno y the system keep on changing my tang ci in english to sthingy!) to scope it back but it's foot is already black and blue. can't touch it some more.... it's still bruised. Wanna ask if u think it'll recover?
Below are some new pics:

now they're abt 2cm or so long and can crawl out of the nest by themselves.
