Yeah we have a male and a female hamster right then is time for me to post this info to ur XD!!

How to tell if your Hamster is Pregnant



•She’ll start looking fatter. Sometimes you may even feel the babies moving in her tummy.
•She’ll start building a HUGE nest and hides food under it. Make sure you don’t mess her nest, she’ll become very panicky.
•She becomes more aggressive and jumpy. Well. that is expected for every pregnant animal.





What to Do when Your Hamster is Pregnant


1.Take out the male hamster. If you don’t, they WILL and CAN mate again soon after birth. However, you should let your hamster rest before letting her give birth again. Can you imagine how tiring it would be for her?
2.Clean the cage a few days before she gives birth. You cannot touch the cage until the babies are 3 weeks old.
3.Places lots of bedding materials to let her build her nest.
4.Remove the hamster wheel so the babies will not injure themselves.
5.Feed your hamster lots of high-protein food such as bread soaked in milk and small pieces of cheese.



Unfortunately, sometimes hamsters will eat their own babies due to the following reasons:

1.The litter was too big and she could not take care of all of them.
2.Some of them were sick and she guessed they probably wouldn’t make it.
3.They had a different scent on them.
4.Your hamster’s first litter – The babies came as a surprise to her, she wasn’t sure what to do. However, she’ll become more confident with her second litter, so don’t worry!




If you’re planning to raise lots of baby hamsters, you’ll have to wait 3 to 4 months before letting your hamster give birth again. It’ll be really tiring for your hamster. During and after giving birth, you should provide the female hamster with lots of high-protein food such as nuts, hard-boiled eggs, sunflower seeds and milk ( a few drops please! )

Also, make sure that the waterbottle is lowered so the new pups can drink from it.

When the babies are just born, they’re dependant on their mom.
During the first two weeks, your hamster is suckling her babies, so make sure that she has plenty of fluids.

Also, she’ll be moving her babies around the cage, grabbing them one by one by the scruff of the neck. It can be quite amusing to watch the babies squeaking away.

After two weeks, the babies will start to develop some fur and begin exploring the cage although their eyes are not open. The female hamster will get a little uneasy with their new freedom and will tend to bite more often.

Try to be more understanding and patient with her during this period of time.

When you’re handling the babies, make sure you let her see you playing with them, so she will not feel threatened.

Hope you have many lovely hamsters! =)
