Question
how do i tell if a hamster is preganant?

                          thanks!

Answer
Hi Andrew,

First, your hamster will start to build a large nest and hoard food in it.  Then, around day 10 of the pregnancy, her belly will expand and her nipples may be more prominent.  Also, she will stop coming into heat.

Have a great day!

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