Question
i have like 10 questions about my hamster that i have had for about two weeks now.i think she is pregnant she was with a boy hamster.she got really fat really fast and she makes small nests all over her cage and she sleeps ALOT.two other thing when i put fresh food in her cage she acts like a cat in a litter box and scoops everything out and uses the bathroom in it how can i stop that.

Answer
You can't really stop her from using her bowl as a potty. Hamsters tend to do whatever they want to do. Just watch your hamster. If she is pregnant she will give birth to the pups 16-18 days after coming into contact with the male.
