Anyone know where I can get those pellet for bedding?

I cant find it in Pet Safari in Ikano.

Question:

Can I keep the pregnant female with another female ? Or let her have her own cage?

Now she is like 2nd week pregnant, do I remove the male to another cage ? Or until she give birth then remove the male?

Thanks Jayniel.

By the way, izzit the wheel is a must ? Is there other way for them to exercise beside putting a wheel?

My RC escape from the cage.

I search up and down still cant her.

I am thinking to buy the rat trap cage, will that help ?

Haiya....those plastic container lah....I didnt put back the cover......

Now I wonder where is she hiding....scare she starve and die dunno where....

Also scare she got rape by the tikus.....

Great news !!! She is back.

I am trying to look for her again just now. Suddenly I see the curtain moves.

She is there trying to climb back up to the table where the cage is. That is a 1.5 feet high table.

I think she must be hungry.

After changed the bedding on Fri nitght. My lovely hamster gave birth to 5 pups last night.
No wonder she was busy tearing and moving the toilet paper I put in after changed the bedding.
I thought she need another week before giving birth since the mating only took place on 29th Feb.

Thanks all for the greetings.

Jayniel:
I thought it will take about 20 days but suddenly last night I heard the pups sounds. It can't be earlier because I put the male in on the night of 28th Feb.
Most of the articles said around 21 days but some did says from 15-21 days.
Luckily I didnt wait another 3 days to change the bedding because I notice the mother was playing with the water and the bedding was wet.
I actually place the cage next to the wall and cover half of the cage with newspaper to give her some privacy.
I have another 2 cage place infront of that cage so that it wont get disturb.

-Nos- :
hahaha... I only manage to peek at it today and there are 5 pups. All still pinky lah. Old people saying, now is the best time with the stout if you have internal injury.

hooverbell:
Will post pics later. Maybe after 10 days. Don't want to distrb them now. I have more than enuff space. Whether to part with them or not still not decided yet.

I think male very obvious, the balls is just beside the tale. correct me if I am wrong.

as far as I know any animals coming in to the country need 2 weeks quarentine. So, you have to hide it if driving in.

By the way, my 5 days old baby hamster can see the color. 4 following the daddy which is Agouti and 1 following mommy which is Agente.

This is making me worry. I notice 1 out of the 5 baby a bit smaller. The body size really smaller as compare to other 4.
Izzit becoz dont get feed properly by the mom? Will he survive?

They're just 5 days old so still group together. hahahaha...I dunno how to explain it but if you have baby hamster then you should understand what i mean. I can't really touch the baby now and I don't wantto touch the mother yet.
I only see them on top view and I notice the little one kind of skinny while others kind of chubby.

-Nos-

Update on my baby hammies.

Yesterday I saw the mom carry 3 babies into the sand bathing box and left 2 outside.
Just now I checked, only 4 in the sand box.
So I wait till she is eating then open the box and check, the skinny little one is gone.
I only saw a tittle piece of skin or something left...like black dry skin, can notice some tiny hand.
I believe she ate the skinny one and suck him dry.....

-Nos-
