Question
Hi again, im really glad u responded fast. Ive also got another question. My hamster is in a cage that has plastic pipes, and i was reading that the pups might wander around. Should i place her at the bottom lvl a few days before shes due and clog her from going anywhere?


Answer
Hi,

Yeah I'd stop her from using the tubes. Especially if you have ones that the pups could fall down. A good cage for a pregnant/nursing hamster is a tank/tub because some pups are able to escape through the bars on a cage. Good luck with your pups!
