Pregnant Hamster ADVICE !!!

[Coco61]

You must wait! You will see the babies once they start to come out of the nest. This may take 12 or more days so be patient. Do not clean the nest out before that happens. Even then only do the minimum until they all have eyes open. I will let a breeder tell you more. If there is a medical emergency, then mother and all babies need to go to the vet together I believe. I cannot give you any more advice about that but I hope that it will not be necessary.

I don't think you can disturb her safely for about two weeks when the pups will open their eyes & start to come out of the nest until then you just have to leave her alone.
If you disturb her just to see if anything is wrong she may cull the pups if they are alive so best leave her be now.

OK the problem is that the nest is very near to the first water bottle and the food, how can i change them daily

[cypher]

She'll need plenty of food now so just put a big handful in the cage, don't worry about putting it in the bowl.
You will need to put clean water in so just do it as quietly as you can, if it's very close to the nest could you put a second bottle in a different place where you're less likely to disturb her?

Ok about the water bottle i just changed it in a very gentle and quiet way i had to bottles so i had the water bottle near the nest to be be 4 inches up but the bedding was made as a hill till the tip of the bottle so i gues they can reach it
(THEY ARE IN floor OF THE CAGE )
and the the second bottle was far from the nest and i had it 1 inch or maybe half an inch from the cage's floor and removed surrounding bedding
is that ok??

[Drago]

That should be fine. Please don't disturb the mother or her babies from this point on. Leave them in a dark and quiet room, and only go in to feed and change their water

[Coco61]

I think that sounds ok. Just as long as mother can drink clean water every day. Once the pups come out of the nest, make sure they can reach a water bottle. You can get good advice here on the food to put out for mother and pups once they are old enough to have food outside of the nest. Until then, peace and quiet.

ok i got a large bin cage and she transfered the pups to a place where she digged to the floor the only way i could see them is when i look down on the bin cage ( i didn't move it )and they looked find. I counted them and they were 8 i think there are more but ill hust wait till they get older

[Drago]

I'm a bit confused, did you change the bins or move it? Please do not touch or alter anything at this point, or you'll risk losing the litter. I'd keep out of whatever room they're in for the time being

[Jso0om]

no she is in her cage but the cage floor is clear from down so i move the cage a bit and slowly and looked down she was nursing them
