Hamster Central - View Single Post - need help with possibly pregnant syrian from pet store

I wouldn’t do anything in the cage at all - any disturbance may mean she culls the babies. As she’s gone thin I would just take it out again for now but do it quietly when she’s asleep. For the next few days just observe her from a distance ideally. And keep us posted. She may cull the babies anyway if she’s too young to cope. But it will be a case of wait and see - if she takes lots of food to the nest she may well be looking after them.
