One of these babies is going to be coming home with me in a month! 😍

I’m so proud of my Buttefly. The show this weekend was a huge success! It was a two day show, and we got Champion for the first one.

We gotta talk about this old dude! This is Teddy! 🐻 Teddy was dumped at an LA Shelter when his “family” moved away. The kicker? This guy is almost 2 years old 🤦‍♀️ That’s geriatric in the hamster world! We took this old guy in a little while ago with the intention of rehoming him to understanding new parents, but he didn’t get adopted right away. At this point, Teddy is just too old to go to a new home and he has stolen our hearts completely anyway. So, we’re committed to providing him with tons of love, a huge cage, and access to any medical care that might come up as he ages. ❤️ Why am I telling you all this? Because this is what #animalrescue and #ethicalbreeding is about. Everything we do is in the best interest of the animals and we take full responsibility for their well-being—no matter what, no matter where they come from, no matter how long that may be, and with the understanding that sometimes their care plan has to change. We love Teddy and see each and every day with him as a precious gift. 🥰 Please officially welcome Teddy into the Cheeks and Squeaks family (non-breeding side of course). We are happy to have him! #cheeksandsqueakshams #adorablehamsters #teddybear https://www.instagram.com/p/BtjVtrYnWcK/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1pi41pyaq53ti

Erin here! Ganache and I had a couple visitors last night. First @happypawshams came over to observe the cheeky way of breeding. She’s plans on breeding from our line and is trying to learn everything she can from us. 👍🏻 Now, as you can see, Jaime from the game of thrones litter last summer came over for a date night with Ganache. Everything seem to go as planned. We loved seeing him and his owners again. The best part is seeing how much he’s changed! He’s such a beautiful yellow boy. He carries rex so we hope we get some rex bbbzz. #ethicalbreeding #datenight #syrianhamster #loveatfirstsniff #hamsterdaddy (at Foothill Ranch, California)

Penelope is so fun to have around. She’s 8 weeks old now so she’s still a baby and loving the new single life. She’s such a cutie i can get enough of her. Can’t wait to see breed her in about 3 months. #ethicalbreeding #cheeksandsqueakshams #penelope #greekmythology #penelopepoopoo #babyanimals #syrianhamster (at Foothill Ranch, California)
