Eszter: haha thanks Yes, this time I had MUCH better lighting to work with! Yes, it's crazy! I'm being overwhelmed by boys! cheekygerbils: They are wonderful! I think Penelope is really enjoying not being pregnant, and Sebastian is busy trying to keep up with his two boys. Amski: hahaha I know! It's sooo adorable. I could just squeeze it. :-) Oh- and I've named them all! I just love naming. The agouti with the most spotting (pied, collared) is Seymour. The agouti with the minimal spotting is Otis. The argentene golden is Ranger (hehe... even though they lost the world series- again- I still love them) The lilac boy is Asaph the lilac girl is Celeste. Seymour, Otis, Ranger, Asaph, and Celeste.

I have an unhealthy obsession with names. Lol I always keep an ear/eye out for an interesting name. When i see or hear one i like, i jot it down in a notebook or on my phone. I have so many names set aside, its ridiculous! It was hard to choose these cause i had so many i wanted to use, but eventually i just ended up seeing which fit best on em.

Seymour is gotta be my fav. Years ago I went to Greece. On a day trip we were taken to a little lagoon, untouched by civilization. It was beautiful. Big waves, soft sand, thousands of fishes, you name it, and no people, buildings etc. It was called Xenia lagoon. Never forget that name!

Thanks everyone!! Okay.. Prepare yourselves... It's time for... CUTENESS OVERLOAD!!! The babies have all opened their eyes! Well, except for Otis, who has one eye shut, the other open. I got some adorable pics of this, too. They just started opening them sunday morning I think, so I"m not worried about him. I think he's pretty close. All five are doing so splendid and get cuter and cuter every day, and Penelope and Anastasia are doing wonderful, too. Penelope has calmed down SO much since she became a mommy, and is now the sweetest gerbil ever. She was sweet before, but now she's just so gentle and sweet and laid back. She went from if I wanted to take her out, I had to wait until she climbed on my hand, now, she lets me pick her up with no fuss at all. Maybe she's just so excited to get away from the pups for a bit. Anastasia is turning into a mini-penelope and is just nuts. hehe. I have to watch her closely, because her favorite thing to do is jump over the edge of the tank and onto one of the shelves on my dresser. lol which is JUST like something Penelope would have done in her "younger months". She also hardly ever sits still and she's earned the nickname "energizer gerbil". haha But she is also an incredible big sis and loves to babysit for Penelope. Her and her siblings are always rolling around the tank being little goofballs of fur. Seb and the two boys are great as well! The boys are growing like WEEDS! They're sooo huge now! They both have adorable personalities and love their daddy, who is doing splendid. Sebastian's calmed down a lot, too. he was super calm before, but now he's just a gentle giant. And now for pup pics!! I've included a few of Anastasia, penelope, the boys, and Seb, too. Sebastian and Frijoles taking a nap. Anastasia babysitting. (I promise they have a lot of bedding, Penelope just likes to sleep on the floor lol) Some more of Anastasia. She's such a big girl, now!! Celeste. Seymour! Anastasia being goofy. Ranger! Seymour! Asaph! Three of the boys. Celeste! Soo sweet and cute. She has the most BEAUTIFUL spotting. I hope she ends up being a "three spotter" And now some pics with all their eyes open. Sweet Otis. All stretched out. :3 He's sayin' "hey ladies " Ranger... HE'SSOCUTE Seymour :-) He is the BIGGEST camera ham... so photogenic! He loves to "pose" So. Cute. Oh my gosh. My little Celeste. Asaph. He's very photogenic, too... Only every time he'd pose? He'd blink. lol Aaaaand the sweet momma! Who wasn't in the modd for pictures. So she only got one. lol

wonderful pictures Blocketh you do sound like you got the hang of it all, breeding and photo shooting they all look healthy and in good condition so it will be a good reassurance for your customers. i have a few fav shots too... the second one of Seb and Frijoles Seymor whispering into the little paws of his own and all of them of course but i had to pick one or two i bet the weather is almost always nice and sunny so they enjoy the sun shining on them
