Re: What foods to give pregnat/nursing mom?
I feed my mums and babies chicken, porridge with lactol, baby food, hard boiled egg and large quantities of hamster mix. I can end up feeding hAmster mix twice a day between three and four weeks old as they eat vast quantities - 5 chinese babies in my last litter got through 200g mix per day! From about a week old I sprinkle a fine mix near the nest as the babies start to toddle out, as well as small cubes of cucumber as a water source. Just take care with fresh veg as you dont want the mum to store it and ot to go off in the nest since you cant go in and remove jneaten nits like you would for a hamster without a litter. I also make sure the water bottle spout is low down so the babies an get to it when they are ready.
