My dwarf hamster mom looks skinny?

Question

Well my winter white dwarf hamster had babies 8 days ago. Well she looks kinda skinny. Well when I say kinda, because usually her cheek pouches look full or she just has fat cheek pouches. Since she had her 4 babies, she"s eating a whole lot, like 4 or 5 in daytime. She eats for 45 min. to 1 hr. each time. This kinda confuses me since she eats so much. Also when she walks, since her cheeks look fat, it looks like she's really really skinny. Is she really that skinny or is the cheek pouches just making her look skinny? Please help, I don't want her to die if she is skinny.

Answer 1

It sounds like she it eating enough. Maybe she just looks skinny since your used to seeing her pregnant. I'm pretty sure she is fine. Unless you can see her ribs she's all right.
