Haiz...
Nevermind la...pocket empty already...
Unless someone willing to buy my hamsters or sponsor me...

LOL.

It's normal for 7 hamsters to finish 2.25kg food in 3 weeks.
Last time i was having 11 hamsters and my 2.3kg food finish in 2 weeks.

Not eating the babies as meal la...
Sometime when she sense danger/threat to her babies,she will eat part of them.
Sometime when she think she can't handle too much of litters, she will eat some of them as well.

Last time my female hamster gave birth for 4th batch with 7 babies, but at the end, only left with 3 survivors.
Guess she can't handle that much of litters.

Ya,they are very sensitive...
When handle pregnant hamster,have to be extra careful lo...
Must make sure they are not stress at all...including blastin music or so diaturb them during the first week of birth.

I think, what's happening is that the female is pregnant already, then she's getting aggressive toward the male hamster.
it's normal.
Some male will get hurt after the female getting pregnant, even dead...
That's what i research from online...

Then buy from other forumer in lyn.
Better than buy from shop.
Or if you want Winter White hamster, i sell u cheap cheap

Mine always play and flirt around only, never saw them fight before.
What a loving couple....
*Faint...

Can't help you with that.
Never bought Vitakraft before.

Cute hammies u having over there!:)

Yay!

My new 4 babies opened their eyes today and starting to run around the cage d.
The mother seems to lazy to layan them.
Haha...

Well,you better pray for them to NOT have any babies or you will start to have heavy headache like me....

Wow...only one?
How old is she?
Usually the best age to give birth is after 2 months to 3 months old.
Or the male is not 'powerful' enough?

Feeding tips?
Ermm...you can try feed some mealworms for the mother to gain back some protein.
Extra food and water should be fine.
Don't disturb her at all for the first week and i think all 4of them should be doing fine.

Just COD one of my female hamster to a malay couple last night.
Hopefully they will take care of her nicely.

The female hamster look at me with the sad and pity look when i put her into new cage...

My mama yao pregnant...AGAIN!!!

This time...the belly is SUPER DUPER BIG!




I think this time will be more than 10 hammies coming out soon...
Should i take the wheel out?
Coz normally i won't take out.

They prefer live mealworms.
RM 1 live mealworms and you can feed them 2-3 times already.
They LOVE it!

Ya,you can get it from pet shop nearby.
Just tell them RM 1 worms and they will give you in plastic bag.
I saw people fed them with grasshopper, but i will recommend mealworms as rich in protein.
Once they saw the mealworms,they will quickly grab them and eat.


Ermm...i think it's normal.
My hamsters always move around the babies as she wanna move them to safe place.
REMEMBER to separate the father from the mother as he might make her pregnant AGAIN!
Just feed her what you usually fed. Better with some vege or mealworms once every few days.
The babies will eat what their mother eat. No differences.

Aiya, no need to scare la.
It's just like human babies, they hungry then cry ma...
Same thing happens to hamsters too.
Just don't disturb the babies, let the mother handle them in her own way then they should be fine.

Congrat!

For mine, the 11 new born babies, all officially died.
Guess they are too weak to survive with mother's weak body.

I think 9 days should able to eat mixed food ABIT la...
If you see the mother is not feeding them anymore and the babies are not eating the food yet,take out the babies and put them back together with the mother.
Atleast can force the mother to feed them a few more days.
