Hamster Nesting Material

Your hamster will spend most of the daylight hours sleeping in his nest, so they want to make it as comfortable as possible. Although ordinary bedding material is fine, you may want to add some softer material for use in the nest. Shredded tissue paper or paper towel will do nicely. Just make sure they are white and unscented. DON’T USE COTTON AS NESTING MATERIAL! It can form strands that can wrap around the hamster’s limbs and actually cut off the blood supply. Don’t worry about making the nest for your hamster; she’ll take care of that herself!

Hi Karina, 
 
I wouldn't change her cage around too much as she might get a little stressed out. Keep things the way she likes them, make sure she has plenty of food and water, and you'll be giving her the best opportunity to have a successful birth. Good luck!
