Ok.. Are you the person who asked before about heat and that? When did you breed your hamsters to assume they are due on the 13? The gestation period is 16 days so the female will normally give birth 16 days after the date of her breeding. Very occasionally a female may not give birth until the 17th or 18th day. The female will usually start to show pregnancy at around 10 days after mating. Her abdomen will become swollen and the nipples will become more prominent. If a pregnant female does not give birth after 18 days this is usually an indication of phantom pregnancy. Feed her lots of high protien foods, make sure close to birth she doesn't get too much exercize, don't handle her, and take her wheel out. Sure you can use the male as many times as you want, he doesn't stay with the female, so you can breed him to as many females as you want. You can breed long hairs to short I believe, but I forget if the babies will have long or short. I hope I've helped you! If you need anything else just ask.

nope i wasnt the person but u know shit ill ask somebody else and i am reporting u as a very bad person to get advise but u know nothing
Answer -
I'm guessing you are the person from before for harboring resentment. May I ask what was wrong with that long and detailed explanation of hamster breeding? You say I know nothing? Your obviously an amature if you think there's something wrong with that response, get a life.

no i am not the same person so stop acusing me as the same person if i was i wouldnt be talking to you probably bc u suck everybody knows that general info i am asking what kind of human food! YOU GET A LIFE RIGHT NOW  

Answer
OK thats the only thing I didn't mention. You don't have to be so rude, and I dont think hamster gestations periods is "general info" And if you knew all this "general info" then why did you bother asking me? Eggs have protien, feed your hamster bits of hard boiled egg. Also Cheese, wheatgerm, and tofu have lots of protien.
