Abandoned baby hammys?

Question

My friend had a hamster called Milk and she had babies. Soon after Milk died and her babies are still alive. What should she do to keep them alive?

Answer 1

you can fil their water jug with fat milk and hold it to their mouths.Also shred little peices of carrots and put it in your food bowl.

Answer 2

I am very sorry to hear about the death of the mother hamster. From my experience, you can feed them kitten or puppy milk replacer (KMR) with syringes but there is a lot more to do other than feeding them like keeping them warm and helping them defecate.

Please go through this site which will give you all the information you need to take care of orphan hamsters.

Since the pups are only 5 days or less, adoption by another mother hamster needs to be considered since they still need "mother's milk" to survive and grow into healthy pups. The best way would be to get in touch with a professional breeder near your home quickly without wasting time who can arrange for adoption of pups by a current nursing mother hamster which they would have in the breeding center (breeders know how to do this since they have faced situations like this before). Go for it soon, the sooner you do it, the better are the survival chances for the pups.

All the best!

Answer 4

call the vet that would be your best bet but for now keep them warm!

Answer 5

Consult a Vet or an experienced breeder. They know how to deal with them well.

In the meantime, she should try to keep them warm, and feed then milk by those droppers you get with medicines.

She has to hold them and gently put the dropper in their mouth...she should feed them every 5 hours...but I'll advice not to wait for 5 hours.

Urgent vet consultation is needed.

They are very young, and if not taken care properly, they may not survive.

So act fast!

Have a Good Day!

Answer 6

It might be a good idea trying to give the babies to the pet shop Milk was bought from (if they are more than 6 weeks old).

How old are the babies?
