Hi,

My Robo gave birth 10 days ago.
Need some advice regarding her diet.
At the moment I'm feeding her with
Sluis Superior menu (her normal everyday diet).
Carrots, apples, cashew nuts and hard boils eggs (started after she gave birth).
Do I need to add anything else or is that enough?
and how about the water, is normal bottle water ok?

Yes, I already visit the thread.
Followed all of the tips given
Just wondering if what I done is enough for her diet.
My first time, so I want to make sure.

Huhu.. never place water bottle, I'm not that cruel
No, what I mean is. Is plain water enough or do I need to give extra kind of liquid, like milk or something?

Yeah, I should have written bottled water, hehe.. my bad
Will give her some cheese tomorrow

Got another question, I just noticed today one of the pups got a swollen leg. Red in color. It wasn't swollen before. Any idea why it is so? Do I need to take it to a vet?

I see, so its better to wait and see. Got it.
Thanks for the advice
Great thing you guys got going on here

Yeah, this is the 1st and last batch. After this going to put the males and females in separate cages. So kesian my Honey so kecik suddenly got 5 pups but looks like Robo are very good mothers. She really take care of her pups

Hi,

I know that Robo can be kept in small groups but what if its only one Robo in a cage?
Will it get lonely or depressed if being kept alone?

and if kept to many in one cage will they fight for space?
Because my hamster seems to be killing her pups, from 5 now only left 2
Should I separate them from their mother? Its been 21 days now from their D.O.B.

TQ
