Rescue may or may not be pregnant?

I got a (suppose to be) winter white momma and 2 of her babies
Here is the story(just so I dont have to re-type it all haha)
Bones! :D

Ive only had her since this weekend but she seems to be getting progressively chunkier by the day(or so it seems). So I am suspecting she may be pregnant. She was in with dad up until this last weekend and her last litter is weaned now. She had had babies constantly the past few months, needless to say she is getting a retirement now(or after this litter) and will be here to stay for the rest of her life Shes 8 months old, im just hoping all these babies dosnt shorten her life, shes the sweetest hamster ever

Well im 100% positive she is. It looks like shes about to pop! Its amazing how much they grow in the matter of a few days. Will post when she has them

I read the one on bones. Sheesh, how many litters has she had now? It's nice she will get a retirement from breeding now xx I feel sorry for the little Dove!

[4mb3rnich0l3]

I only know of 4(given shes about 8 months old, thats allot!)...... Im assuming shes had 1 or more, more then that even since she had been bred back to back the past 5-6 months. *shrugs* either way you can tell its taking a toll on the poor little lady.. Shes pretty huge today so im gonna go ahead and clean her bedding and hive her a few more things to make a nest under. Im assuming she could pop any day now..

Bless her. Sheesh. Keep us posted

Poor sweetheart, thats such a lot of litters!
Sending my prayers that all goes well for her and babies x

[4mb3rnich0l3]

well I was right . shes either had or having them now. I checked on her and heard squeaks and seen at least 2. she had them outside the nest box lol. but im gonna leave her alone. dont wanna stress momma out. is there anything I should do for her? different foods?

Poor little girl. I have no advice as the only pregnant hamster I encountered was when I was a kid and she ate her babies, but I hope it turns out well. I am pretty sure my hamster ate her babies because there wasnt enough room.

Mummy hams appreciate extra protein dn fat in their diet. Egg white, chicken, mealworms and peanuts are a few gd options.
Once the babies were starting to venture out I put in baby food for them and mum to eat and small seeds as they started to try solid foods. Make sure the wheel is removed and anything not suitable for babies to use x

Ok thanks! She has 6, so fingers crossed everyone makes it. They look healthy lol. Just hoping they arnt too much stress on her.. She looks sooo different being skinny(well skinny compared to when she was big and preggerz haha)
