Hi there.

Just bought yeasterday a new cage (habitrail) to "unite" with the one the Mom Hamster has with the three babies.

She had them on the 24th of February and the cage is really smelly right now (my living room smells like hamster pee, just because of the cage).

I'm thinking of cleaning today the cage.

What do you think?

I'm going to get everything that she needs on the new cage, then put her there and then, with a spoon, put the babies in the new cage with her, along with a little from the old nest.

They already have fur but I think I prefer to use the spoon any way to not give them my "scent".

They are syrians, so I think they didn't opened their eyes yet.

Then, after doing this, I'm going to clean the old cage. After this, I will unite both cages so she can have more room.

Her current cage is really small and I'm sure I saw around 7 to 8 baby hamsters on the first days. Maybe because of the small space, she ate the ones that are missing now?
