  1. wow....okay. Dont freak out!! Make sure there in separate cages. If they share a cage find one of those plastic storage bins that 15in deep and place one in. Put both hamsters into a quite room. Check on them every few hours but dont touch them until babies are at least 4 weeks old. If you touch the babies or mom it could stress the mom and make her kill the babies. After the 4 weeks you could put an ad in the paper about the babies. Dont charge anything, its a hamster. If you have friends or family that want a hamster, give them the pick of the litter. Good Luck!! ^_^


  2. Make sure they are in seperate cages give them a lot of food water and bedding and just leave them alone except to feed them and give them water DO NOT TOUCH OR DESTERB THE BABIES IN ANYWAY TILL THEY ARE 10 TO 14 DAYS OLD. Leave mom alone and let her do her thing. There is a possibilioty that she will canabalize her young so just leave her alone doing anything to her or the babies may make her do this and some times mom just does it no matter what. Don't worry this is normal its what they do. After 21 days its time to ween them. Separate them by gender, and if they are regular Syrian hamsters after being a few months old they need to be separated. If they are Dwarf they can live together their whole life or untill they start to fight. I suggest invest some money in lots of cages or sell you hammie / give away the babies to other people to look after and care and love them.

  3. haha well if u in australia nsw near sydney u could have just given some of ur hamsters to me lol that wouild help a bit other then that

  4. drown one!!!!

  5. What do you need help with?

  6. Your not clear with your question. What do you need help with?

  7. alot of people would love to have a baby hampster but dont take it away from its mother till ready u dont want it to die of a heart attack or lack of food.

    this can be hard since hampster can multiple quickly so if u knwo of someone like someoen who lives on a farm with alot of animals that would be best becuz thats a lot of hampsters in one house.

  8. Well first of having more then one hamster in a cage unless you're a professional breeder of something IS A VERY BAD IDEA, if you have a lot of experience a large cage and the time to keep a close eye on them then maybe you can get away with two in one cage with an extra cage on hand in-case they don't get along, but sense you've already made the mistake and I assume you don't have the money to get cages for every one of the babies, ask anyone that you can think of if they want a hamster, see if pet stores will take them (or buy them if you can but I've never actually met anyone that has been able to sell a batch of hamsters to a pet store) of course waiting until they are old enough to leave there mothers witch I'm not sure at all about this but I think it's two weeks old that they can leave there mother.

  9. Ok, cool down. I don't know what is the matter with having two preganat hamsters, but if you need help here is a lot of information. First put the two female hamsters in different cages. Two plastic storage bins will do the trick. Put them in a quiet room. Check on them. When the babies are born leave them alone for about 4 weeks. Here is how to care for them:

    Day 1-7 Keep the cage alone. Only get in for food and water.

    Day 8 Give the babies tiny pieces of carrot or apple. Don't touch them just put it in the nest.

    Day 9 Give the mom snacks and offer her a break from being a mom, let her run in her ball or hold her in your hand.

    Day 10 Do the same thing as day 8

    Day 11 Lower the water bottle 1/2" or 3/4"

    Day 12-14 Give them apples and carrots every day now. Also make sure they are eating the pellet or seed food that you reguraly give to the mom. Give the mom a break again.

    Day 15-18 Watch to see if the babies are eating their solid food also make sure that they drink out of the water bottle.

    Day 19 The babies have to be seperated from the mom even though it sounds sad. :[ Put them into different s*x groups.

    Hamsters can mate with their sisters and brothers. Well, I hope this helped you. Good luck with the babies.  =]
