Can anybody give me advice for pregnant Dwarf hamsters?

Cause she is supposed to be due anytime now, and this is my second time having a pregnant dwarf hamster, but the first time failed. Does anybody have do's and dont's?Can anybody give me advice for pregnant Dwarf hamsters?
First thing that you need to do in separate the daddy from the mommy hamster, because he will eat the baby's. I know that is cruel to say, but it's true. So get him out of there before she has them.





Make sure you give her a small container of milk after she has the babies. As her milk will not come in right away. You can use the lid of a jar as a container. That is about all that you can do for her. Make sure none of the baby's end up in the milk, but other wise they should be alright. Do not put the daddy hamster in with her or the baby's. And just feed the mommy as you always do. Try not to touch the baby's as it isn't good to do, and they should all be fine. That is a no no.





Good luck, have lots of fun with them.Can anybody give me advice for pregnant Dwarf hamsters?
Well keep um warm and safe. don't take them away from the mom and maybe keep the dad away
i had many dwarf hamsters...i bought one from the pet store not knowing it was pregnant and it gabe birth to a litter of them (about 8) and i bought every book about hamsters i could find.





put some vitatmins for hamsters in the water bottle of the mother. You need to wait until their eyes open (14 days) until you can handle them.





From experience, make sure you seperate the males from the females.. i had them all in the same cage and they litterally fought, ate and killed eachother. Infact, the mother killed her own.





try giving them away if you don't have any space.





All in all, they are the funnest and cutest of hamsters. Beware of ';wet tail'; it's a common killer of hamsters.





Good luck!!
