Tonight Eleanor of Aquitaine gave birth to eight cute little ones.  I didn’t quite know she was pregnant.  Yesterday I noticed that she was getting mighty fat–which I kindly told her about.  She pretty much gave me the hamster equivalent of the middle finger and peed on me.  I started googling information about hamster babies, and presto, tonight, she had her litter.

I’ve started looking for homes for the cuties, who should all be ready for relocating in about four weeks.  If you know me and live or can visit the New York area in four weeks and would like a baby hamster, send me a message.  I’ve got three people who would like one–five to go!  I’ll snap some photos when the munchkins start roaming about.  I don’t want to bother Momma Eleanor at the moment.  She’s done enough.  Yay for babies!
