OKay listen up I've had 17 hamsters so i know.
Seperate the dad to a diffrent cage, Leav the mom with the kids till you see the kids start eating and drinking by themselves. Usually they are somewhat covered in fur by this time, then you can turn the little ones over and look. You'll see 2 holes if they are very close together and look almost like just 1 big hole its a girl if the are further apart its a boy. Seperate the girls and boys into diffrent cages and then if you want the possibility of more kids you can put the dad back in with the mom otherwise keep them seperate. After awhile you need to either give them away of you need to Seperate all the boys because they will fight.
Hope this help.
You just keep feed %26 water down for her. She will do the rest.
Aww. Leave the little babes with Mom for a few weeks. By then you will be able to tell if any of them are male by the degree of their aggression. Males try to take over. If you separate them when this starts happening the females can live together peacefully.
Good luck.
apparently it's fairly hard to tell what sex they are. a frined of mine bought waht was supposed to be a male %26 2 weeks later, she had babies. i think they had to stay with the mom for 4 weeks-- might ask a pet store for sure.
good luck
Let nature handle it. When your female hamster gets tired of them nursing, she will let them know. When they are weaned be sure to separate them or you may wind up with more babies.
feed and give the mother hamster but live her alone she doesn't want ppl to touch her babies or she will not care for them them but when they have hair u should but them in diffrent cages from fighting or mating or if u want more hamster but they still drink milk from there mother unitl a few weeks or months but, im not sure how to tell the gender of the babies
How neat!
Do not touch them. Dwarf hamsters live in society's, not like a standard hamsters. The male and female both take care of the babies. It has been a while since I breed these but if I remember correctly it is like three weeks. You can leave them in with there family until you want to separate them or one causes fighting. Also give them plenty of room if you are going to leave them all together. No room and they will start fighting for room. These are so small though they do not take much room, or food etc. There will be a alpha male and alpha female. You will notice that the females have close openings -- and the males have a space - - . when they get breeding age you will really notice the difference!
When selling these or giving them away and if you care where they go always remember these are snake food as well. Very high fat content. Ask the person you are selling them to or giving them to if you don't want them to be food. Some peeps are not honest but you can tell if they are lying, even if they have kids with them. Learned this the hard way.
Lucky you! Congratulations!
