My hamster is unusually big..?

Question

Okay, well, I got my hamster a few days ago from a friend of mine.. That cage was home to a few other hamsters but, my hamster eats a lot too.. Is she pregnant or fat?

Answer 1

thats hard to determine just off of you telling us shes big try to observe any unuasual activities

Answer 2

There is the possibility that she is pregnant if she was around other hamsters and they were male. Keep a close watch on her. Look at her belly to see if the nipples are swelling!

Answer 3

She could be pregnant. Which is a bit of trouble if you don't know what to do once the babies come. http://www.hamster-heaven.com/breeding_0...        This website has good information that should help you out and figure out if your hammy really is pregnant or just a little overweight.

Answer 4

You'll probably have to wait and see, you can't really give it less food incase it is pregnant.

Answer 5

It is very possible the hamster is pregnant.  It's hard to say though because a hamster may not show pregnancy signs until a few days before the birth.  

You should ask your friend if there were males in the cage.  If your friend is not sure you may want to s*x those hamsters.  If there were the chances are good she could have pups.  If she is pregnant though do not cut back on her food and give her food that is high in protein.
