Is your hamster pregnant?

Signs of pregnancy

What exactly are the signs of pregnancy?

When a female hamster is pregnant, she will be very aggressive towards other hamsters. Thats why it is a must to separate hamsters if u think she's pregnant! Unfortunately for me, i didnt realise it early and my poor pearl white(male) was seriously injuried.

Is she hogging the food more often than before? she will store lots of food in her cheeks and then transport them to her nest to store.

Is she getting lazy? she doesn't seems to exercise as much as before.

After a week or so, u will notice that she's rather "fat" ( which women doesn't look fat when they are pregnant)

Turn her over, If her nipples are very obvious then there's a 99.9% chance she is pregnant!

The day before she give birth she will go "fasting" and she will be very busy building her nest. Make sure you change the bedding like 2-3 days before because once the puppies are out, changing the bedding will only terrify the mother. A terrified mother will eat her own puppies .

Make sure you do not touch the puppies! The mother will do her job herself!

All the best! hope this helps!

We think my hamster is pregnant.........she always looks up on us and stands on her feet, she takes food from us and stores it in her cheeks and hides it in her nest, she exerices a little, shes getting fatter than before, we can see her nipples, and she built a huge nest under the water bottle thing... and of course she is terrtoial.... if we were going to take her out to see her, she would watch us and want to bite us...... So is she pregnant or is she just mad?

SHe is definetly pregnent. All the the signs are clearly visible and i would suggest that you leave her alown for a while and when she has her babies don't toudd]ch her for 3 1/2 weeks because she will most likely eat her pups. Good Luck

Hi... i have a female winter white dwarf hamster, and my friend has one too. i had to go on vacation and when she came back to my house she was/is bigger, and she has a big nest, and she is also very grouchy, when she's usually nice, she keeps food in her cheeks, and drinks a lot. she is kinda slow in running but is carrying lots of bedding to her big nest. she had an upper nest with a tube that goes down but she moved down. i think she is pregnant. her nipples are kinda sticking out

is my hamster pregnant? she doesnt exercise alot and has a big wall of bedding(which where she sleeps)and seems to be fat. I don't see he nippes though.

Lindsay 18 months ago

I seriously cannot tell if my dwarf hamster is pregnant or not. She only shows a couple signs of being pregnant right now.. She doesn't get much exercise, never leaves her hut except for like food and water, and she really hates to be held, like she runs away from you and she even bit me yesterday, which is a first. I really havent seen her hoard food or anything. Could these signs just be because shes in a new environment? I got her about 2 weeks ago.
