AHHH HAMSTER BABIES!!!

Question

I just got latte 3 days ago and she had babies! what should i do???

Answer 1

The mother will be quite capable of looking after the young herself until they are old enough to weaned - and then you can either keep them yourself or find a good home for them.

Make sure you provide her with more food than she would usually eat, they require more energy and nutrients to feed themselves and the babies properly.

Keep the sexes in different cages so no more fall unexpectedly pregnant! Good luck with them.

Answer 2

The pups should be 10 days old now.  Did any of them make it?  

1st litters often get eaten.  Don't feel bad if she ate them all.

Answer 3

extra fresh water - will benefit from milk

her diet should be increaes in quality and qanity  ispecially protein

breeding put strain on the female physically and mentally keep her in a quiet place with not to much distraction

babies

by 7 days should have fur

by 3-4 weeks you will have moved completly onto solid food and will be quite independant at end of week4

man be weaned at 21 - 27 days but can live together for a futher 2 weeks after this

at 5 -6 weeks begin reCHING PUBERTY AND THE ROUGHT AND TUMBLE PLAY WILL TURN TO REAL FIGHTING AND WILL BE LIABLE TO MATE EACH OTHER at this point they should be housed individualyy

the droppings should be cleaned every day but the nest left alone

don't use your fingers

use rubber gloves rubbed in soiled bedding
