Question
I got my female hamster from the pet store about a week ago, they said she might
be pregnet but i cant tell, she is showing sighs, as in making a nest. and her
belly is getitng harder, does this mean she is pregnant??
And i also have a short hair male hamster and i was wondering if sleeping all the time is good for him?/ or normal


Answer
Hello Jaimie,
it seems like the female is possibly pregnant. she should have babies within three weeks of being pregnant. As far as the male hamster sleeping a lot, as long as he is eating and drinking and has bright eyes and nice fur it's going to be normal. Mine sleeps half the day awau
