pregnacy

Question
our dwarf hamster had four baby's someone told us to take out all bedding and put in paper towels. we want to know if we should? the baby hamsters are a few days old.

Answer
Dear McKenzie,
ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! I cannot stress this enough, so many people belive this, and i am not sure why. The mother will get angry, the babies will get frightened, and this could lead to violence. As gross as it is, don't change the bedding for at least a week. you can give the mommy cotton balls to keep her babies warm, though.
Hope this helps you!
