Lol, Mouseygirl! The hamster we brought home after Hedwig died (Hermione) wound up being preggers, so the Girl got to experience exactly what you described. Hermione had seven babies, and we were able to find homes for them all. It was pretty cool, albeit a bit stinky when they got a little older.
Two weeks ago our new birds killed one of the old ones, Oliver. I bought another cage and put the little murderous darlings in it, and they promptly started producing eggs- five of them. This morning, we awoke to find that three babies had hatched, and since they are so cute, we've forgiven the parents for offing Oliver.
Anyone want a Zebra finch?
