At 10 days, yesterday. But they're 11 days today :)

Thanks to everyone who replied. @Hekomi your bubbles are adorable and I love them so much give me them I definitely like the look of the Carolina Storm Express after looking into it (though not so much the bucket) and I'm surprised I hadn't seen it sooner comparing how good the reviews are! By the videos I looked out daaang is that a quiet wheel! I might guiltily go for it, though I haven't looked at the shipping yet and I'd imagine it would be a lot as I live in the UK, so that's the only thing I'm wary of - but I'm pretty convinced it will be money well spent.

The comfort wheel is now pretty far down my list and I think I'd probably go Wodent Wheel over Silent Spinner even though it might need some tweaking but I'll probably decide for good once I find and finalize an aquarium to buy (gosh darn are they hard to find at a decent price ANYWHERE in the UK uggg).

Thanks again for the help from me and Lazarus (I'll find pics sometime lol it's been a while) <3.

I think the price point + steep shipping means not many people know about it. Seriously, it's awesome. I'm in Canada, and I think it's $19 for the wheel and then $21 for shipping... which makes me cringe. I have four of them, and honestly, it IS money well spent and I love them. Especially since they're large and can fit in even shorter cages because they're not excessively tall on the lowest setting.

My partner wants to figure out how to make our own to avoid the shipping costs. I imagine you could find a smaller bucket too, and do that.

No goldens, 3x black tort, 2x melanistic yellow, 1x ghost melanistic yellow. The two mellow yellows as I call them are kinda small though. I think they might just be "normal" but their siblings are massive (I expected nothing less from FattyMcArya) so I'm keeping a keen eye. They're cute as can be though and while I'm super against handling before eyes opened, I had my hand down for Arya to climb down and one of the black torts climbed on and then snuggled up in my palm. So. Adorable. Arya didn't bat one eye though, and went about her business, leaving her Mini-me to snuggle.

Haha, yes. :) I don't expect any goldens from our next litter either, but will after that!

Ooooh! What was the assignment on?

And yesssss it was so cute. I have a picture but apparently my onedrive isn't up to date and I'm a lazy person.

It was logbooks xD In the end the hammie one didn't get handed in, as they tutor chose two out of the six, but it still had to be handed in on paper, so who knows if he read it xD It was mostly general care, and you are a goldmine!
He was so surprised in the practical when he asked if anyone knew the minimum space requirement of a Syrian and it was out of my mouth like a bullet xD
he didn't accept that syrians are actually crepuscular and only nocturnal in captivity though
and all the wheels are too small but no one listens ugh

pls show me, I beg you komi
I need hammie sausages in my life

Timbre died during the night.
Have no idea what was wrong, he was completely fine last night.

I haven't eve got any recent pictures of my little pirate rattie.

Ooooh, nice! :) That's kinda ick about the crepuscular/wheel size things. I think 8'' are usually okay but mammoths like Arya won't ever fit in one nicely. It's been a long time since Arya's had an 8'' wheel.



Little muffin sausage! She's the one with the little tortie star on her forehead.

Tell me about it! They've all got P@H smallest wheels, so they're like, 4". Orion fits in an 8", as does Honey, and Hercules is only a tiny baby so he's got so much room xD Gotta give him some egg tomorrow too.

AHHHH THAT'S SO CUTE AHHHHH
LOOK AT HER LITTLE TAIL

@Spider come here </3
