Question
Hey there my question is that i dont really know if my hamster is pregnant and that if she is attacking the male hamster... that means shes pregnant right? plz answer baq a.s.a.p.!!

Answer
hi stephanie,

yes it does sound very much like she is pregnant. id remove the male from the cage until she gives birth. if she hasnt had them by this time next month she isnt pregant and you can slowly unite them again. if she she give birth DO NOT touch the nest or babies for the first week or so, as she will reject them and eat them.

thanks for your question and if she does have babies, ask again to know what to do next.

joanne :)
