animals and my life .. well some of it...

I have moved the four hamster babies that survived into a small aqvarium away from thier parents. It is 4 days early, but I can see hamster mommy is pregnant again which would make her due day in 4 days, and last time she killed all her old babies 2 days before that.
I just hope the babies are old enough to cope the early move. They have started to eat the normal food and has been exploring the cage for some days now.
I am quite nervous about how it will go, but guess that time will tell.
I did not know how to give them water without a risk of drowning them when they live in an aqvarium so I used one of the water dispensers for the birds that could stand on the bottom, I don't think it will be big enough for them to drown in.

I have a rabbit with due day tomorrow but I am not entirely sure that she is pregnant, she behaves like it, but is not very big, and she does seem kinda down in spirit. Guess I will know by tomorrow or the day after if all is alright or not with her.
Last time she almost did not show pregnancy either and she only got one baby, a huge boy who now is the most curious little thing (actually he is huge for his age, but he is a dwarf rabbit therefor small)

Allan is in copenhagen to visit a friend and I miss him so bad, he says he will be home this evening, and i am looking forward to it. I cannot seem to fall asleep when he is not here.

My neighbor very obviously want her younger son and Alexander to be friends. I am not fond of the idea. first he is almost eleven which means he will control Alexander most likely.
I have seen the boy smoke down behind the house already, and his older brother just got moved to a youth institution by force, cause he was way out of line, stealing, not attending school, bothering people and so on...I don't want my sons to hang with kids like that.
On the other hand I do not want to be a bad neighbor, but in this case I have to say no.
She came in to see the apartment the other day, and Allan got so angry at me for inviting her in, he did not want any of the family to see our stuff cause they steal.
He was right it was unwise. I am just so bad at turning people away when they have not yet brought offense to me.

It looks like we will get a break from the heat, we actually had a little rain yesterday, and it was most welcome. if i am lucky it will be dry but partly cloudy tomorrow so I can spent the hole day on building my new rabbit cage.
I am behind schedule with that cause it was so hot outside that i got sick if I spent time out from 12 till 5pm.
I really need to get it done, my new rabbits are currently living in huge cages in my living room and they make a mess, stink and one of them is also pregnant, I want her moved before she is due, you cannot change the cage straw one week before due day and up to 3 weeks after since it stresses the mommy rabbit, sometimes so much she kills her babies.
I really dont want that stench in my livingroom. The new outdoor cage has to get finished.

I gave all my birds nesting boxes, I have never tried to have birds breeding before so it will be fun to see if they will in my home with all the boys around.
