Our Foster Family!

My husband & I are currently fostering a family of hamsters. Curly (the mommy) was abandoned outside our local humane league one night. A few days later, the staff came in to a surprise. She had had babies during the night. Since the humane league is very full, they were kept in a holdover room with cats & other animals, where Curly was feeling kind of stressed & having trouble taking care of her new babies. So we were called on to bring her home to our house, where she could raise her babies in peace & quiet. She has been an excellent little Mommy, considering she is only about 3 months old herself. She has raised 3 healthy little ones. 2 girls & a boy. Soon it will be time for them to go up for adoption & we will really miss them, but it will be worth it if they find loving forever homes.
