hamsters
« on: 30 July 2009, 08:35:44 »
i brought a hamster set up about 2 days ago for the kids
it came with 2 dwarf hamsters
got up this morning to a right noise and found they have had babies about 6 or 7 of the little things

do i have to seperate the male from the female
and how the hell do i tell the difference

plus is there any sort of extra care ive got to give them



rather sods law, i only said to ann last night that it would be sods law they have babies now all the kittens have gone

You'll have to seperate the mum & dad. The little ones won't be a problem until they come of age, but that won't be long.
It's possible you could have two females & one had sex before you bought them. I'd seperate just to be on the safe side. As for the sex of them, looks like a trip to the vets ;)
