As most of you already know, we're expecting our fifth child (we're due next March). Some folks balk at the sight of the four boys we have now, so just wait until we have five of the little critters. Having five is not that daunting, especially after you get over the notion of having more than two. But thank goodness we didn't have them all at the same time.
This summer we bought what we believed to be two female hamsters. Naturally, one of them turned out to be a boy. We know this because the other hamster gave birth last week to five baby hamsters. Assuming she doesn't eat her young, I told the boys we would name them Brennan, Tanner, Elijah, Graham, and "baby." Again this all hinges on whether the mother eats her babies (which we've witnessed this hamster doing already this summer).
In regard to names, we may have to pass a rule that all hamsters will be given unisex names until we witness them actually giving birth or they submit to a blood test. So now we're running two cages, a boys dorm and a girls dorm and we're eagerly hoping we get the five new additions assigned properly.
