Tips for a Pregnant Hamster
Whether you mistakenly had a male and female hamster housed together, or you brought home a female hamster that was pregnant, you want to make sure that your female hamster gets proper nutrition and housing so that she's ready for her babies.
You want to make sure that you offer the hamster fresh food as well as her commercial diet. Offer carrots and broccoli, as well as a piece of a hard boiled egg once in a while. You want your pregnant hamster to have all the vitamins, minerals, and proteins that she needs while she's pregnant.
Also, make sure that you provide plenty of nesting grounds that she can prepare. You can use tissue paper, toilet paper, and other soft items that the hamster and rip up to create a nest. Carefresh is often used, but in some cases, this can suffocate newborn and young hamsters.
