Answer 2

GO 2 VET.

Answer 3

It sounds serious.  Hamsters shouldn't have those kinds of problems.  Call around to your local vets and see who specializes or has experience in small aimal care.  Take her in.  It shouldn't be too expensive.

Answer 4

Sweetie, hamsters don't stay pregnant for nine months...16 days is their gestations period.

If she turned 3, that's OLD for a hamster, and she's starting to show the signs of being old.

Answer 5

No hamster could be pregnant for 9 months. It sounds serious, you have to go to a vet immediately. I had a hamster that was the sweetest ever and I didn't take her to a vet when she needed it. I suffered the consequences, she sadly passed away 8 months ago. I still cry some times. I'm not telling you this to scare you just to make you aware. Please help her!

Answer 6

D: Aw, peaches. Shes old. Just talk her to the vet. O: Thats what I would do..

Answer 7

well, i agree with the person who said that the hamster is getting old. take her to the vet if your worried. i found a thing on wikipedia about hamsters if you wanna look.

Answer 8

It's impossible for any known hamster species to be pregnant for nine months. Hamster gestation is significantly shorter than humans. If your female Syrian hamster hasn't been in contact with a male Syrian in the past 16 days (18 on the outside if there's a case of delayed implantation), then you can safely assume she's not pregnant. Even a phantom pregnancy would only last for weeks, not months.

Ideally, you should see your vet to make sure your hamsters in good health.

Answer 9

Oh no, poor Peaches! I suggest taking her to the vet straight away. Syrian hamsters are only pregnant for 16 days after being mated. It will probably cost around $30-$50 for a vet check, try to find a small animal, exotics, or cat vet in your area. Peaches is getting old, and most hamsters get sick when they become seniors. Most hamsters only live to be 2 years old! Good luck!
