» The Yoniprizes-celebrate 11 Days Old Photos, all 14 of them :-D

[ST's Hamstery]

Yonina(Dove SH ) has just started her labor. So far there are two born and she came over to let me see she was pushing again. Like Mother, like daughter since she is Dovey's daughter and Yonina herself was watched being born(well a few of the pups from the Dovecks at least)

Yonina seems very relaxed with her labors. Cleaning off each new arrival and suckling between pushing.

Proud Papa is Sir Prize,and for once the pups will NOT be anything Yellow LOL. Hopes are for a nice Black Dominant spot,or since daddy is a Cinnamon Dominant Spot carrying Black some pretty Dove Boys.
Will keep everyone updated on her progress later.

Congrats ST!!! I cant wait to see pictures.

Oooooohhhhh Yonina you are such a good mommy. I can hardly wait to see your little babies, you are so special. Nancy can't wait to see these adorable ones!

Well it is now 11:00 PM my time and Yonina is a whole lot thinner in the mid drift area. She came off the nest for a nice taste of warmed oatmeal and all I can say is Holy WOW there was more pups then I could count in the nest(I quit trying at 14). No Black eyes so no Black Dominant spots for me,but should be a slew of Doves, Cinnamons, Red Eyed Creams,and a small possiblity of Minks in the nest. It will be fun to see who gets spots and who doesn't. Yonina seems fine but she did have a bit more bleeding then I would like to see. Pups already have milk bands so I know she is nursing them and has milk.

Funny thing is Dovey seems very aware of the event and keeps sniffing the air as if she knows she is a Grandma for the first time. Gave Yonina more fresh paper toweling and she happily carted it off to the nest so at least the pups have clean toweling to lay on for now. In a few days I'll remove the nasty mess toweling out as she moves it to the toilet corner. Pictures will be in a few days as this is her 1st litter and I want her to stay relaxed and enjoying her litter of plenty.

Congrats on the arrival of the masses

My goodness what a busy mummy! Congrats on the new additions, and I hope the bleeding is nothing serious

This afternoon finds Yonina doing well and though it's a 1st litter and a large one she seems very well attentive to her babies. Pups seem very content with only normal squeaks and sounds of happy pups. Yonina is eating and drinking like normal as well.

When Yonina got off the litter for her treat(wax worms today) I did check her to be sure the bleeding had eased up and it has very much so. Now she can just sit back and enjoy motherhood.
I still can't say how many pups there are as all you see is eyes noses and little pink feet everywhere you look.

Oooohhhhhhh I can hardly wait to see these babies.....Congrats. I am glad to hear that Yonina is doing really well, and staying relaxed like you said. I am hoping she is finding time to relax with all the little ones needing her. I am so thrilled. Congrats to you and Yonina and Dovey (aka Grandma)

Well it is already 2 days since the arrival of the Yoniprizes,and I felt it safe to take a few(two to be exact) pictures of the pile of Pinkness.

Here is a pic of the proud 16 month old Daddy Sir Prize


And the dam at only 2 months(I do need new pics of her)


and now the pups at 2 days old.


How many do you count? I see 14 but is anyone hiding out underneath the pile of Pink Pups?

[zoo4boo]

Oh goodness look at all those babies.......they are still so small and cute and small. All those babies. How is momma doing? I can hardly wait to see some pics when they are hairy (a bit) and eyes open.......ooooohhhhhh!!!!

[B5koala]

Awh, beautiful pile of pinkness!

WOW that is a lot of babies, good luck!

At just 5 days old the Yoniprizes aren't show stoppers for color. However their ears are now open and they now have a very light dusting of fuzz and you can just start to see signs of at least two being Cinnamon,and several are starting to look gray tinted. No signs of any dominant spots yet but that isn't unusal with red eyed colors. Two appear to be much lighter then the others so I may find two Red Eyed Creams once they become fully furred.
So here they are along with a few of Mom showing off.




In this shot if you look closely at the 2nd and 3rd pups in the upper right corner of the photo you can see the cheek flashes starting to show.


This shot shows 13 of the still at 14 pup litter


The lovely Yonina munching on a few bits of Cat kibble.


Yonina found the Camera cord a fun toy LOL.


PLEASE note Yonina was raised by me and she is very comfortable with me,the camera, and her litter. Do Not EVER take photos this close to a Mother and her litter if you are not 100% positive the Dam will not react badly resulting in her possibly destroying her litter.
