It just breaks my heart when people pull babies from their mamas suddenly and early.
I'm glad you were able to reunite them. Hopefully they can continue to live together.
We've has some surprisingly good luck adopting out same gender groups. Then again, our standing rule is: no chin goes home without a same gender friend unless they prove too aggressive to pair.

I'm the same way here, but lately I haven't had good luck in introductions. I always prefer that they be adopted with a friend if they allow it.
With these ladies I will NOT adopt them out individually. If I find someone who would be an awesome home, but doesn't want all 5, I am willing to adopt them out in a pair and a trio. It would be mom and babies. "Ivy & Poppy", and then "Holly, Daisy & Lily". If someone wants just one I have other singlets here they can look at.

Everyone is getting so big!!! Looking at them everyday you don't notice it as much, but when you look at the video from almost 3 months ago, and then now, it's crazy how much the wee ones have grown. You can definitely tell why the dust is called "Blue Cloud" in this video.

I think that's Poppy, though in the video it's hard to tell. Poppy is usually my popcorning fool.

Just wanted to update this thread to say they found a fantastic home and all 5 were able to stay together. We were contacted by someone on another forum who had seen them, but she lived in Chicago, IL. Her application was amazing, and she had taken a picture of their cage with her standing next to it with a her holding a sign with her name on it (so I knew it was actually her cage). She had completely decked it out with fleece, chewies, 2 wheels, etc. She said from the moment she saw them online she knew they had to be hers. We tried to put a railroad together, but there just weren't enough people who lived in between us to make it work. We finally decided to just meet half way. She drove 9 hours to Nashville, TN, and I drove 11 hrs. It was a long drive, but knowing they are in the greatest home for them is all I needed to know to be willing to make it. Here are some pictures of them in Chicago. She also just purchased the 143 for the FN, so they will have even more room. I love happy endings.

I forgot how small the babies were when we brought them home. Luna is still pretty small but her attitude makes up for that! Thank you Crysta for keeping everything I loved looking at it and reading it and seeing all the movies.
