My Hamster just had a litter
|
|
|
| Some of you know that I have been keeping hamsters as pets. I got my
first hamster about 1 1/2 years ago. My little female just had a
litter of 10 pups nine days ago. I am absolutly facinated in the way
that she takes care of her babies. I have gotten her very use to me
opening the top to her den. At first, the pups were about 1/2 inch
long. Even on the first day, you could hear the sucking sounds as they
were feeding. They are born deaf, blind, and totally helpless. The
first time I saw them, they looked like a bunch of very small arms and
legs wiggleing around. They were pink at first. They now have started
to grow hair and are dark - except their head, hands, and feet. Mommy
is very protective. If one starts to get away, she grabs him and
returns him to the others. At first, they fit perfectly under mommy.
Now mom has to lay on her side to feed them. What a wild
scramble!!!!!!! They now are 9 days old. I have taken pictures of
them almost daily as they develop. I make sure that mom is very well
fed. She gets her regular hamster food, bread and milk, lots of
lettuce, and dog food. I said 10 pups. I still am not sure if it is
9, 10, or 11. In a few days, I will lift them each out of the nest and
make a certain count. Mom lets me pick them up without a fuss. They
are so interesting as they try to move around while still blind. I
will keep you all updated.

Here is just a little update. I said that I could not make a full
count of how many pups I had. I noticed that two of the little ones
were eating something that appeared to be a hunk of dog food. Upon
closer inspection, I saw it was half a hamster. They are
cannibalistic. If there are any imperfections, they will not hesitate
to kill the weaker of the group. I know for sure that there are less
than ten in the group. They are very competitive for food and the
stronger will prevail. When you listen to them now, you hear all these
jaws snapping and chomping. They still are cute but it is "survival of
the fittest".

Wow Fred! What a cool experience! I had a hamster, then guinea pigs growing
up, but none ever had a litter. We did however breed our Schnauzer and THAT
was quite the learning experience! I'm happy for you..it must be fun and
very interesting!
I guess the real question is, what WILL you do with all those hamsters?
Teach them to Dance? (evil grin!)
(Ok, someone, post the link...go ahead, we need it!  )

Update. I finally counted the babies. There were 10 1/2. There were
actually 11 born. These little guys are very compeditive. Mommy only
has 10 nipples so the 11th got left out - to the point where he got
weak enough that he couldn't compete. You open the cover now and all
you hear is snapping noices. This is the sound of the jaws of 10 baby
hamsters as they are opening and closing their mouths. Their eyes are
still not open but it won't be long. They have already grown wiskers -
they help them navigate. If one does start crawling away, momma
catches him an puts him back into the litter. Momma is going to have a
lot of fun when the little guys open their eyes and try to explore away
from the nest. They are about the size of a mouse now.-

Well, I am down to 9 hamsters now. One just dissapeared!!!!!??? They
are 13 days old now. I just got back from the store. I placed 2 large
leaves of lettuce in the cage. Momma got off her nest and started
running for the lettuce. The little ones were still attached to her
milk spouts. Suddenly, all nine ran out of the door and spread around
the lettuce. Maybe if I feed them more lettuce, they will quit eating
each other. I took a look at a couple of them. Their teeth have
really developed. I would hate to be momma when these little guys and
their incisors attach themselves to the milk spouts. Biteing -
outch!!!!!!! They can find their way around the cage now but they
still havnt opened their eyes. They all have grown hair and wiskers
and are looking very cute.

More food???? Her diet - hamster food, chicken, hamburger, milk with
Special K, carrotts, mango skins, dog food. I don't think that it is
momma that is the culpert. When one of the litter has a deformity, the
others kill it. Survival of the fittest. When there are 10 taps and
11 hamsters, the others will attack the weakest - usually the one who
continuously gets left out. This last one totally disappeared. I
found 1/2 of the 11th hamster in the cage - two of the others were
dineing on it..

The irony is that when a hamster is born, they are born with teeth.
Momma must have to be a bit of a masochist because these little guys
probably start biteing from day one. I have some interesting pics. If
you want to see a pic of momma on her back while the pups are feasting
all over her, I can send you a jpg.

June 27 - they are two weeks old today! That is, 7 have made it to
their 14 day birthday. I did another count this morning and sure
engough, there were only 7 in the nest. Two more were dinner. I had
to remove another 1/2 hammie. They all are eating solid food but are
still getting milk from mama. They love the mix of milk and special
K. You can really see how much they have grown. From 1/2 inch to over
2 inches in just two weeks. The images are darliing. I love to watch
mama retrieve the young when they stray out of the nest. I just took
mama and one of the little ones out to hold them. Mama immediatly
picked up junior and would not let him/her down. I then put them both
back - that is, mama holding junior back into the hammie house. They
still have not opened their eyes. It is amazing how they get around
when they are totally blind. I have one man (employee) at the nursing
home who wants one. My neighbor's daughter wants another.

June 28 - They opened their eyes today. Momma can't keep then in the
nest for sure now.

June 28. They are getting very active and hungry. They also look very
plump. I put a bowl of hammie food out last night and it was almost
gone this morning. I place a whole leaf of lettuce in the cage, it is
gone within an hour. Yesterday, I tried to pull mama out of her nest.
On little guy was really clamping down on her nipple and came up with
her - Outch! that drew a little blood. Today she has a scab and a
nipple that is slightly out of action. I think the hammie -eat- hammie
thing is over. I am still counting 7. Maybe seven it the lucky number.

June 30. Last night, they started running on the wheel. Mama was on
with one of the little ones. For some reason, Junior held on. Momma
kept on trottin' and Junior held on with his front paws. The wheel
went around 360 degrees before he finally let go giving him quite a joy
ride. This was the first time I saw mama sitting in the opposite
corner of the den with the little ones in the nest by themselves. I
think mamma needs a break.

July2- The little critters are off and running. They enjoy solid food
almost as much as momma's milk. I notice that when I place my hand in
the bag to pull out a handful of hamster food, it has that sound like
opening a potato chip bag. When these little guys hear this, they all
come rushing out of their den to get the food before I even put any
into their bowl. I took them to mom's nursing home yesterday. There
are several patients that really get off on looking inside my aquarium
and just watching. The little ones also have discovered the hamster
wheel. They are finally heavy enough so they can turn the wheel by
running. They are 19 days old now.

July 4- My little guys are starting to get very noisy and active now.
I placed a cardboard roller from a paper towel roll into the cage. It
is a perfect hideing place. There are up to 3 and 4 hammies hideing in
there at a time. Two or three get on the running wheel at one time.
They are a riot to watch. Tomorrow they will be 3 weeks old. Almost
time to give them out for adoption.

I read an article yesterday about a guy who bought a rat for his snake to
eat and then thought it was too inhumane to actually give it to the snake so
he kept it as a pet. He got attached to the rat and bought it a friend.
He let them mulitply and multiply until the humane society stepped in when
neighbors were complaining and they pulled out 1200 rats from his home, alot
of them disfigured, bad living conditions etc. They said they weren't human
friendly so not able to adopt out and ended up killing most of them. The
man said he was buying 250 pounds of rat food/wk. The man said he knew he
had a problem in his house but he was severely depressed and not able to
deal with it.
Your hammy stories reminded me of this. Thanks for keeping us updated, it
is interesting.

I read the same article. It gets disgusting when things get out of
hand. I have had hamsters now since February of 2005. I originally
did not know that I would like them. A former girlfriend's daughter
had a couple of them and I started holding them. This was during a
depression. I found that they were comforting. I first bought a
female and then a male a couple of months later. Since then, both of
the original two died and I purchased first a new male and then a
female. I did not choose to breed them until this year. I just found
a lot of joy in watching a litter develop into an interesting group of
little hampsers. I know that some of this man's rats had lost eyes and
other body parts. This is a sign of a severly stressed colony of rats.
I am lucky if I go through 1 or 2 pounds of hamster food in a week. I
give them so much fresh food like lettuce and carrots. I started hand
holding them at day 8. At this time I felt that the mother would not
harm her young. They have turned into a group of very human friendly
pets. I am sure that the people that I have promised them to will be
very happy with thier new pets.
I watch how they play and interact with each other and I can watch this
for hours. They are a lot of fun.

I lost my first baby yesterday. A man who works at the nursing home
adopted him. It was a match at first sight. You could just see his
eyes twinkle when I brought in the cage. He bought a hamster ball and
we put the little guy in to let him run around. The man named him
"Hammie" (original). A woman is comeing over at 3 to get another of my
babies.

I am going to separate little juniours from mama very soon. They are
getting sexually mature. Can't have any hanky-panky going on. I am
still trying to find homes for the remaining 4. They are really
playful now.
