My hamster died yesterday.She was only 1 month + old.
I have no idea why she died.Before i went to work in the morning i fed her and everything was normal and when i came back,she was stiff,breathless,cold.
I have no idea what happened.Did eating plastic killed it?Coz she liked to nibble on the plastic edges of her house.
Its so sad man.

Her needs will include extra proteins like those found inboiled egg or soya and bread soaked in low fat milk or oatmeal porridge. Extra vegetables and sunflower seeds will also be greatly appreciated.

Have your hammy been digging a lot at a corner of the tank or biting cage bars? This is normal wear and tear. Sometimes the nose bleeding also.

1. No need to change to other beddings. Also avoid changing bedding when the mommy hammy is pregnant. Can change when the babies are about 14 days old.

2. Separate quickly as the mom will get defensive and also the dad will try to mate with the mom again. They will fight. They are hamster and will not get lonely like us people.

3. Yes. There must be food 24/7 in the tank.

4. You can try protein powder for SG. You can try asking SG owners to sell you some as I know it's a big pack.

5. You can give it timothy hay also for her to make nest. I think tissue will be better than shredded paper. You can use toilet roll or kitchen roll.

Also remove the wheel or any toys to prevent accidents for the mom and babies.

hammy dun have period like how humans do...

they have heat...for syrian, every 4 days...

i think 2 weeks is still too young..coz they still need mom milk..
mayb u can try to put them in daddy cage for about 5 minutes like that under ur guard,afraid daddy bully the pups..and take out again.so daddy can know children smell..when the baby weaned..easy to introduce male baby to daddy..n chances of fight to occur is less since they hv family relationship and been introduce already..
i think it may work..coz i've done that to my robo too...but now they all RIP dy..huhuhu..

erm, wta....until which day baby pups are free from the danger (got eaten up by it mummy)

can i take the mum out to another container and quckily clean the tank without touching the baby pups?

im will be away for 4 day next week....so wanted to do some cleaning b4 away...

i think until the pups have open eyes..then mummy will not eat the pups.

n u can touch the baby if the baby fur fully grown..but not for a long time..

or if u afraid..u can scoop the baby n mummy in temporary box..do ur cleaning as usual..but put some old bedding<choose bedding where mum nurse the pups often> in the cage..then put the baby first..n folow by mom.

help....how the differential the babies robo at age of 26th day???
any other detail picture to show...all i see seem the same...

lift them up and check their genitals lo... got balls den male... no balls means female...

They like digging around , no worries. 

its normal... they want a better cooling surface to sleep on... especially on hot weather... my hammy likes to sleep on the ceramic mug i gave them when the weather is hot...

when weather is cold, they bury themselves in the bedding...
