Question
we just bought a teddy bear hamster, little did we know that she was pregnant. well it has been a few hours since she had the pups, and now it seems she doesnt want to have anything to do with them. is there anything i can do to save the babies?

Answer

    You can feed them formula, which is whole milk mixed with baby formula. Heat this up to a warm temperature. Feed them this through an eye dropper. Baby hamster also need to be stimulated to go to the bathroom. Take a q-tip with warm water on one of the ends rubs this over their bottoms, this way their bladder doesn't explode.
