Question
my hamster just reared a litter 5 weeks ago she mistakeably got pregnant again sites tell me that i am suppose to wait 3 months again to let her have more pups wat am i to do.

Answer
Hi Lesley,

There's really nothing you can do, since it was an accidental pregnancy.  Just treat this pregnancy like your hamster's last pregnancy.  However, you shoud make sure she has plenty of protein, since her body will be under more stress.  Try giving her small amounts of scrambled or boiled egg, cheese, and tofu.  And definitely make sure that her stress levels stay low.

Have a great weekend!

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
