What should 2 week old hamsters look like?

Question

My hamster just had babies and they are now 2 weeks old. I'm starting to realize that they haven't progressed much in growth. Thiar eyes still haven't developed and they look preety much the same way they did a week ago.

Answer 1

Check out the following site. Here a person has documented the growth of a hamster litter with photos.

When you go through it and take a look at the photos, you would have a fair idea of how your hamster babies should look at the age of 2 weeks.

Here is the direct link to photos of 2 week old babies -

Remember, the hamster mother would sense if her babies were weak and not growing properly and would have killed unfit babies when they were young itself (though it sounds hard, it is true). The fact that they are fine for two weeks shows that they are healthy babies. So don't worry about them, I am sure they would be fine by their 3rd week.
