Hamster Labor Help!!!?

Question

She was in with a male and two of her four nipples are swollen i asked that quuestion and alot of people said she was pregnant and i seperated her from the male she is in her house and nest and breathing fast is she in labor??If so how long does labor last

Answer 1

she will be running around quickly, moving from one chore to another, and focusing much of her time on nest construction. When she gives birth, she will stand on her hind legs and hunch over to deliver her babies. If she is, Just be sure she gets peace and quiet, and don't touch the babies or nest for at least two weeksUnfortunatly theres nothing you can do while shes in labour, she will be fine all by her self, before the birth she'll probably rearrange the bedding to give herself enough space, you need t make sure that the bedding she has is not fluffy becuase it can damage the babies tiny feet by getting tangled, if you have no other bedding, kitchen paper works just as well, and so will a jay cloth or strips of material.its a good idea to clean her out now, becuase after the birth you mustn't touch the cage for about two weeks and They can go on for a couple of hours... just be advised to not peek in too much, as they can get nervous and delay the birthing more and kill and eat the babies cause she feels that they are not safe. Hope this helped! If

Edit :  care fresh is not too fluffy, i would rip a little paper towel and sprinkle it as bedding too. Also I just found this site: http://www.hamster-heaven.com/breeding_0...

Answer 2

well if she is you can't do any thing for her but leave her alone, if you disturbe her while she is in labor, she could kill the pups once they are born, just leave her with plenty of nesting items(fluffly bedding, a house,torn toilet paper....ect)
