Exclamation I brought my hamster yesterday and i think shes pregnant

Hi there, i'm new to this site and i have an emergency
!

I yesterday I rescued 4 hamsters from someone I knew who was breeding them for profit. She kept WW and Russian Dwarfs in the same cage, with mums and dad and all sorts, just horrible.

Anyway i re-homed them all except one. A 9 week old female Russian Dwarf. I know 100% shes a hybrid because of her colour and I already have two male 'purebred' Russians. I think shes pregnant and i'm not sure what to do.

I'm worried she'll die because shes young and I don't know what hamster she mated, a WW or one of her Brothers or her Dad.

I need some advice desperate. I've done all the research with what the internet has provided me so i need some advice from some good ol' fashion people

Default Re: I brought my hamster yesterday and i think shes pregnant

I hope this someone isn't breeding any more! They may all be hybrids anyway unless you know she had pure winter whites and Campbells. Even hamsters sold as or looking like a winter white are probably hybrids, unless they came from a reputable breeder.

Where is the one you think might be pregnant? With you or still with this person? Whatever she was mated with she will hopefully be ok as hybrids are a mix of the two species anyway although they can have some health issues if interbred a lot. But you won't know that until the babies are born. If you think she is pregnant could you get that one too?

Exclamation Re: I brought my hamster yesterday and i think shes pregnant

Oh right okay. I read a lot on here that hybrid hamsters don't do well with breeding. I haven't kept hamster in a very long time up until 6 months ago and still learning hehe. But anyways thank you

I have her here with me. I took all the hamster from the person who was breeding and re-homed them all to family members and friends who have all previously cared for hamsters, but I decided to keep Hera(named after Greek god ) because she seemed sooo tiny for a 9 week old hamster.

I know what i need to do in the days coming up to the birth ( stock up food, provide protein through out, remove wheel and so on) But i'm just wondering if there is anything i can do to make this easier for her? I have yet to take her to the vet, but it was my understanding that she was dropped alot and she seems to be scratching alot and acting rather strangly.
