So I finally gave in and got a breeding pair of hamsters. After having my Hamlet, who was hand raised by us from a pinky (my roommate bred his parents) and who was oh so sweet - I don't want to do it any other way. The plan is to breed these two and raise the babies. Pick my favorite to keep, and then find this pair and the babies all really good homes. 
They are both healthy, and super cute. I hope they make some cute babies! The female is super sweet and perfect breeding age (approx 3-4 months old) and very calm. The male seems to be more skittish, but we will see how things go. They have only been here since tonight.
He seemed pretty even tempered at the store, just not too keen on being held for very long.
Soo....
Female - still looking for a name. I thought about calling her Tails but I am not sure that it is sticking so feel free to make suggestions.
Male - we are calling him Sully - like on Monster's Inc. Because...well...the pictures explain it! ;D
Already going after some Tails? ;D (this pic makes their size difference more than it is)
Look closely at the tube behind him
So far they are getting along really well. I know Syrian Hamsters can be territorial and fight, but this is all new territory to them. I have an extra hamster cage to separate them i needs be. I also have 3 empty 10 gallon tanks and a Critter Keeper to hold babies while I am looking for homes. Hopefully I will have babies by the end of the month/beginning of May!

I thought of Gloria or Glory like morning glory because of her coloring. 
You are NO fun! Tails also mainly= Tails from Sonic the Hedgehog! ;D
I didn't realize how much I missed the sound of the hamster wheel at night until I walked into the kitchen (they live in the dining room by my Betta) and heard it. I was like Hmm sounds like home!
