my hamster just had 3 babies 6 days ago and she got out of the cage and now i
cant find her anywhere
how do i care for these babies to keep them alive! please help

Answer
hello Taylor,
this is a very serious isue and it will be very hard to raise the pups because you will need to feed them every hour on the hour. Do you know of any hamster that has had babies around the age as yours. Here is some information on how to raise orphans. I find it extremely helpful and it will tell you what you need to do. You are going to have to feed the babies every hour on the hour. It's a lot of wor and good luck to you.
