Question what to feed babies?x

The babies have been eating some kale (i think its called),cucumber & carrot that mum has been bringing in- i'm worried that not all of them are getting fed due to the huge size diffrence in them all, should i be feeding them extra?, but im worried that if they dont eat it all flower will eat it all & upset her tummy with too much veg? how can i make sure they all eat without flower getting ill?xx

If they're out the nest you can prepare mixtures in small dishes for them hamsterfood mix, babyfood, porridge oat, mealworm you smashed in small, muesli, small veggies pieces, etc

If they're not and you got "access" to the nest, pour porridge oat muesli hamster food mix and small bread pieces...

If you can't get access to the nest, just leave them be, you don't want to disturb and upset mum and risk to loose them all by scaring her.

There are often one or more runts in a litter, not much you can do until they leave the nest unfortunately...

I've never had a litter myself, but I know a lot of people put a plate of baked beans by the nest, and sprinkle some hard boiled egg around. Full of protein for mum and babies.

yeah, porridge, some boiled egg, babyfood.. stuff like that is good.
hamsters usually eat what they need to eat, so dont worry too much, and theres often one or two runts in the litter so dont worry too much x
