Lets take care of your hammy

Taking Care Of Pregnant Hamster

First of all, you must know whether your hamster is pregnant or not. Base on my previous experience and asking few question to the pet-shop owner you will notice that your hammy is pregnant if their tummy is getting bigger and their nipple can be seen.
You cannot really know and count how long will it’s take before your hammy gives birth. But after I’ve done some searching on the internet hammy will give birth after 18 days. But my previous experience on my own hammy it takes more then 18 days which it takes almost 1month.maybe different hammy will takes different time.
You actually don’t really have to give extra care on the pregnant hammy but you can give extra nutrients to the hammy such as give the hammy hard boil egg because the hammy is losing the nutrients which it goes to the babies.
When the hamster is pregnant you really need to get the male out of the cage thought because after she gives birth, don’t be surprised that it can be pregnant again within 4 hours.Of course you don’t want to have another babies on a short period.weee~



Taking care of baby hammy.

Once it’s in labor shell run around the cage a lot and act really strange she is just delivering the babies and if she has them scattered all over the cage thats normal when she is done delivering shell gather them all and put them in the nest. Some of he hamster will allow you to give hand on the baby but some do not allow it, so be careful because if she did not allow you to give hand there is a possibilities your hand will be byte by the hamster because they fill threaten.
