Question
hi,
My hamster had babies and there eyes are open and they all have fur now. what do I feed them? I have the food bowl in there cage for the mom but they are eating it too. Is that good? Should I cahnge there food? How do you tell if it is a male or female? Do you have to wait till a certain age before you can tell their sexs?If you could reply as soon as possible that would be great!

Amy,
 Hi. Congrats on the babies!! If they are eating mom's food that is great! it mean they are getting weaned which is a good thing. You can also add some rice krispies for the babies to munch on. You may be able to tell if they are boyas if they have a large protrusion near their rear but its not full proof until they are older. Good luck!!
