Hamster Reproduction

So, you think your hamster may be pregnant? You either meant this to happen, or you had no clue in the first place! The latter is more common than you think, particularly if you bought a hamster from a pet store without knowing the sex. She may even have come home already bearing a little surprise for you, and you were none the wiser. If you plan on breeding hamsters, stick around for the next section where we’ll discuss breeding in detail.

I Think My Hamster Is Pregnant. How Can I Be Sure?
It’s very hard to tell just by looking at her as, even though she does gain weight, it isn’t always that noticeable. However, her behavior around the cage will change markedly. You’ll notice her hoarding much more food than before, and activity such as digging will increase dramatically around her nest. You may also notice that she’s a bit more skittish than usual – this is normal, and the best thing to do is to leave her be.
