Hamster help???

Question

I already asked this but I need more help! I got another "female" roborovski hamster after my hamster's sister died. That hamster wasn't a girl after all, and my hamster got pregnant! She's been pregnant 12-15 days, and I returned the other hamster to the pet store. What do I do with her? And how do I take care of the babies? When can I pick them up? What pet shops will accept them? Thanks in advance = )

Answer 1

DO NOT touch the babies. You don't take care of the babies at all the mother does. Don't mess with them and don't be surprised if the mother doesn't eat them.

Answer 2

oh god make sure you keep an eye on those babies.   i had a hamster and he got preggers and he gave birth and he had abut 6 babies.  he then ate all but two of his youngs.  you have to be very careful and keep an eye on him once he has his babies to make sure he doesn't eat or kill his babies.  but like the other person said, try not to touch his babies or he will definitely kill them. good luck with him!

Answer 3

if it is her first litter they might die because she doesn't have any experience. but my hamsters (belle and teddy) just had 12 babies 5 days ago and all of them are alive. here is what i did...

-lots of bedding (toilet paper, shavings)

- don't disturbe her( she might eat the babies)

- take out the male( he might eat them)

Answer 4

once the babies are born dont touch them and the mom will take care of them.Once they are around 23 days you can pick them up they are adorable!Usually any petshops will except. petsmart petland, any where really.

-aleah

Answer 5

What you do:

1. Feed her 1/4 more food. This will keep her appetite full. She will eat the baby if she is scarcely hungry.

2. Get some Bounty paper towels & fold them innto 4ths. Put it in a corner of the cage. This makes a warm place.

3. Check on them 2 times a day. Keep the lights off wheret their cage is.

GOOD LUCK!
