I stopped breeding hamsters two years ago when the pet store closed. So now instead of a large colony of hamsters I just have four.
I stopped putting couples together and very soon there were no more babies. I have watched the rest of the hamsters pass on from old age. These four are from the last two litters. After they go I will have no more of my hamsters left.
I will probably rescue hamsters from time to time. I have enough cages and bins and supplies to take in quite a range of animals.
It is just nice that my youngest hamster is such a character. My first hamsters were really special and my last hamsters are special. There were a lot of special hamsters in between.
It used to take a whole day to clean them, now it takes twenty minutes.
