Records

I use two kinds of records in my hamstery.   A pedigree and a hamstery diary.  Both are important.

Pedigree

I keep a pedigree sheet like the adjacent photo on every hamster that I breed within my hamstery.  Others that I don’t breed from do get on the pedigrees of their parents so they get recorded too.  If there are more notes than will fit I sometimes use a second page.

Diary

The diary contains all the information about the hamstery in general.  If I move a cage, if a litter is born, if I change food, if I reduce the temperature, it gets recorded in this book. 

My diary is actually contained in two books.   The smaller one is the history and the larger one is where I keep my weather printout.    You can bet that if all the breeders in my hamstery suddenly stop having young at the same time, I am going to be looking at these books carefully.
