titch is more than likely pregnant

[Holly]

That sounds like good news, Leanne

I know my Caramel isn't a robo but she rarely left the nest for the first five or six days and even after that was back in the nest after a brief run until the babies were coming out - sounds like your Titch is definitely feeding babies in there

I'm not sure what to write here today, I haven't really been in my bedroom much in the last 2 days but I haven't heard anything I was out all day yesterday, but I just can't hear anything when I listen. I think she might have killed them or they might have died

They could still be alive, right?

If she's in the nest I would think they are alive Leanne. Perhaps she doesn't have too many though as it is a back to back litter. My baby syrians were very quiet for the first week and then only really made a noise when Berry left the nest.
Fingers crossed, all is well.

It may just mean that Titch is being a really good Mum and keeping her pups so well fed and warm they dont need to make a sound! Not robos, but my last syrian litter were incredibly quiet because Mum was so good at caring for them (after only 3 out of approx. 13 survived from her first litter)
I wouldn't worry too much Leanne, you are doing all you can for titch and not being around much is probably the best thing for her, keeping things nice and quiet so that she can relax and look after her family.
If something has happened (everything crossed it hasn't) then it will have been for a reason. It is so sad that Titch has to go through all this again, but hopefully everything will turn out fine, and at least you can turn things round for her now!

All my best wishes winging towards you and Titch

My litter, as you know, were quiet, Leanne - they had me totally panicked on several occasions in those first few days. I'm keeping everything crossed for you, Titch and the babies.

Thank you all, I feel so much better with your experiences, so many people on other forums have been adamant that I would hear definative noises!

She has been in the nest tons, I called her out earlier because I hadn't seen Titch and low and behold, she stuck her head out of the nest and I think I saw something wriggle behind her because it seemed too far away to be her behind moving. I am going to assume that there is definately something still there, continue to feed and water her, and just leave her be.

When might I see the babies out of the nest and when should I move the food to the floor of the cage and I also have a water bottle on a stand that I got from a local £1 shop, when should I put this on the floor for them?

[Holly]

That sounds more positive, Leanne - I can't imagine why she'd be in the nest all the time if she weren't feeding - and in the nest ALL the time is exactly where my Caramel was for the week or so!

Hamsterlopaedia says robo babies become mobile at 7-8 days and that their eyes open at 14 days

I am not at home now until tomorrow afternoon, but if they are still there that should be a week since they were born. She has moved lots of bedding from under the platform in the rex to out in the open, but seems to be still sleeping and spending all her time underneath the house which acts as the sand bath, and the bedding underneath that is quite tightly packed. She is still spending a lot of time in the nest, so fingers crossed they are there but again I haven't heard anything in at least 3 days now.

[Holly]

Well hopefully they'll be trying to move out of the nest over the weekend and you'll get to see them. You are doing all you can by not trying to see them!

Hope to hear good news soon and I'm keeping everything crossed still.

Fingers crossed that in a few days you will be reporting that Titch is definitely a Mum again. You've been very patient and it wont be much longer if she has pups that you should be able to see them.
