OMG ......... a second litter of hamster pups

[aristocat]

our lovely dwarf russian has had more hamster pups today! her first litter are only 3 wks old

the first litter were a total suprise because we thought that we had 2 boys so we moved Dad out the same day that we found them (they were a few days old)

she has become pregnant again immediately, i know they are only pregnant for 18-21 days and we suspected she was pregnant this time because she got fatter

we have gone from one hamster cage to three ....... aaarrgghhhh

BUT the pups are as cute as can be

Congratulations!! (or maybe not )

But could we have some pictures of the cute pups please?

We ended up with 52 Russian Dwerf hamsters once. We ended up giving them all to a pet shop.

When do you have to sperate the pups, you could have many many more soon!

It's SO hard to sex them at the 'crucial' stage - it must have been like a bloody Roman orgy come nightfall

OMG 52
the pups are 3 weeks old and need to be seperated in the next week - we have homes for them already

Aww how lovely!

We have a boy hamster (who belongs to DS2) but I am attached to him... he is as cute as a button.

Awww they are so cute, dd1 is desperate for at least one hamster but you're to far away

thanks they are so cute it will be hard to give them away

there are 10 newborns - one isnt moving and i am undecided whether to move it now or wait and see if mom will eat it anyway

Too sweet!!

Fio i have left the dead one there as there is a difference of opinion

1. leave it and mommy hamster will do what is needed
2. remove it and risk her harming the others because your scent is on them so i have decided to leave it for the moment and re-look in a few days/week & reconsider taking it out then if its still there IYKWIM

yes the newborns are super, they are very noisy and 'cheep' like birds. have had a look and i think there are still 9.
they will be 14 days old on wed so may come out of the nest then

Just make sure you sex the pups properly otherwise they'll be an explosion. Yup, rodents breed back to back so as soon as she gave birth she will have mated again.

oh god they are too cute, daddy looks like a little toy hamster!!!

theres a new picture on my profile, the pups are 3 weeks old now and gorgeous
