Hi there. I am really sorry but I can't see the photos properly - the file size is too big for the page. More about that below.

If your male syrian has been in your female syrian's cage then it is very likely that your female syrian is pregnant - that would be what attracted the male to go in her cage in the first place when she was on heat. Not certain but very likely.

Someone more experienced in pregnant hamsters will come along soon I am sure, but for now you need to be on pregnancy watch. I think it's 16 days after mating before pups are born.

There are some important things to do or not do before she has the pups. Sometimes you won't know until she has actually had them but nearer the time you can often see baby bumps and she would look a lot wider at the back.

Try not to worry, but you will need to think about trying to find homes for them when they are born. They can go to new homes after 6 weeks old.
