Thanks Dusty. Those pics have really helped. I do have a stupid question for y'all. Both my dwarfs look like they've got testicles...but they don't have the...um, particulars to go with the testies. We also noticed that in the past week, my hammies have been doing alot of 'snuggling' and 'purring'. They groom eachother and roll around in the nests. I'm thinking that my albino is female and in heat? I dunno. I hope not, cuz they are siblings and I'm not so sure I could give those lil ones away. 
But around two or three weeks ago, we noticed our albino (Spatt) was really 'fat'. We use to tease him cuz he was so big. So we told him to lay off the sunflower seeds. LOL Anyhoo...he was fat for a couple of weeks and then, poof, one day, we took him out to play and he was small like Jinx. 
So, we are thinking that Spatt is a girl, she was prego, had babies, and then ate them. There is no evidence of birthing in their nests. Spatt never insisted on a particular nest (he's got several), and he comes out each day to play, like Jinx. (we've got a pocket play pen for them (aka P3)lol) So, what do you all think? I know while Spatt was fat, he was quiet testy. Would bite alot for no apparent reason. Now he's a sweety. I dunno what to think. What do you experts think? If he/she is prego what should I be feeding him/her? I make sure that they get a fresh snack each day while in their P3. Mostly fruits and veggies, rice or oat cereal...that sort of thing.Thanks a bunch guys. Have a great week!!

It HELPS, If they're Tame ...
Then, you Can Just Flip 'em, And Check!

Hamlet's getting used to being flipped over, because everyday I would have to flip him and dab his abscess with water (and plus I had to check on it too!) but he sure is a squirmer. But I just hold on, it doesn't stop me..
