I am keeping him!!!!!

:cheerful: I know a lot of people have followed my story. I tried to find my baby popcorn a good home. There were just none to be found.I got crazy phone calls and emails that were even worse. I can't let him go live in a hamster cage when he is used to a palace. My husband has granted his blessing(from Iraq) and said just keep him. So as soon as he turn 3 months old I'll get him neutered and return him to my herd.

Aw congrats, that is one cute piggle!

He's so cute!

Glad you get to keep him, that way we can get more pigtures of him!

He is a sweetie. He started out all white, now hes getting dark skin on his belly and feet. His hair is taking on a grey color on one of his feet. The edges of his ears are getting dark too. He is 5 weeks old. I feel so much better.

He is a cutie and congrads on keeping him.

Thats fantastic that you are now able to keep him!

Oh, those toes are killing me! What a cutie.

I am so relieved! I couldn't have re homed him either. I'm glad he will be able to stay with his family and live the good life!

He is an absolute sweetheart! I think you and your husband made a wonderful decision. Letting a cutie like that go to a home that wouldn't treat him right would be deplorable, and I commend you for going through all of that and the emotional thought process to come back to keeping him and giving him a great forever home.

That is awesome news! I am so happy that you decided to keep your little man. I can not even imagine having to try to find the "perfect family" for one of my furry babies. No one can give them the love and life they need, only us

He is such a cutie and I am sure your mind and heart can now be at ease, no more worries . . .just a long happy future together making lots of memories together as a family.

I did want to let you know though on a different note (just in case you did'nt know) that your boys more than likely will not get along if they are both living with in the same cage with females. I would rather you know that upfront before you pay the expense of having the baby go through surgery.

Popcorn! That's what Gabby named one of our babies 2 weeks ago. he/she loves to pop so thats a perfect name. My husband wanted us to give away the two babies but we couldn't. Gabby would never sleep wondering if they were being taken care of. When I find out what my two are I'm thinking about adding an extension to the c&c cage so boys and girls can be in the same area but in different cages I will coroplast to make sure no one can bump hinnies in the grids.

Our Popcorn has red eyes too but he's mostly brown with white on his face. The other two have brown eyes. One more piggy doesn't make that much extra work and these cages are the best!

I wondered about that. Flash has tried to bite him if I pull them both out.
I don't do that anymore. I thought it was because popcorn was not neutered. My mom is coming to visit and bringing more cubes, so my cage is going to change yet again!! I may do 2 rooms one with the babies and one with flash and ted. They each can have one girl.
