My campbell hamsters are panda campbell. They are so active, attractive, and they can perform acrobatic movements (salto). wow!

I have a good news from my panda hamsters :D they have three baby hamsters, amazing ^o^
They born on first of October 2011. No wonder, when I put my hamsters in a box then I took the picture for this writing complement, the female seemed so fat. In the afternoon, after I came home from Atma English Course, I intended to feed the my hamsters, evidently there was three baby hamsters in the cage :o I was shocked but I'm very happy :D

Then I separate the babies and the mother with the father, because in some cases the father eat his own babies. Then I put the babies and the mother's cage in dark place. Don't be looking at them too often, it will interfere the mother. Don't forget to drip vitamins into drink bottle.

The babies were so small, fragile, gentle, and red. Human may not touch the hamsters babies because the mother wouldn't breastfeed the babies, it will make the babies die because there are no nutrients. Their eyes will open after 12-14 days. I always wait for its growth, and I have been doing an observation on their growth ^^

  2. Welcome ;)

    Haha, Silvana, I do agree, one can never decide what to say about such creatures :D I personally have never had one, but from the pictures I think I would want one :)

    Nice writing Emma, a long and exhaustive piece, plus pictures - you must've put a lot of effort into it. Nicely done

    All in all there seems to be no significant mistakes, the ones that I did spot could have perhaps been avoided but they do not change my overal opinion :)

    One thing that particularly did rivet my attention was you sentence "I have a good news from my panda hamsters" Always remember that 'news' is uncountable in English... Therefore write "I have good news" or, if you have more pieces of info "I have some good news" Putting article there is an error :)

    Apart from this everything is cool, nice structure and nice vocabulary :) keep it up :)

    Regards :)
