My roommates and l have three hamsters,one male and two female that we've been hoping will mate and create a new litter. Now we have already seen the male mate with both females on multiple occasions have noticed that one of the females have become a little fatter than it once was. Is there any way to tell if either of the female are pregnant without going to a vet.

 

How can you tell whether or not hamsters are pregnant

Hamsters have a very short gestation period, therefore by the time u notice that the female is pregnant she will more than likely give birth within a few days.

You need to remove the male from the females, & also separate the females. Hamsters r very likely to eat their young & even more likely to eat different hamsters young. Males will immediately impregnate the female after giving birth & then the females will more than likely eat the babies because the stress.

A few keys r to ensure proper health r proper nutrition. Boil eggs & feed ur females a tiny bit of the whites. This provides really high protein that is essential for making the milk.

GOOD LUCK!!! Please let me know if u need any more help!

check the nipples, if they look 'swollen' she pregnant, by the sounds of it, she is. Hope the litters healthy and cute.
