Hamster's First Day of Giving Birth

If your hamster is giving birth, there are a few things you need to pay attention to to ensure that the birth goes well and both the hamster and the babies are healthy:

Provide a quiet and comfortable environment. Make sure your hamster feels safe and undisturbed during the birth process.

Make sure the hamster has access to enough water and food. Foods high in protein such as hard-boiled eggs, chicken pieces, and insects can help in milk production and keep your hamster strong during delivery.

Provide enough nesting material for the hamster. Female hamsters who are ready to give birth will find a safe and comfortable place to give birth. Make sure you provide plenty of nesting materials, such as wood fiber, cotton and tissues, so your hamster can build a soft and secure nest.

Don't disturb your hamster too much during the birthing process. This can stress him out and interfere with the birth process.

If you notice that your hamster is having difficulty giving birth, contact your veterinarian immediately for advice and assistance. It's possible that your hamster may need help giving birth.

After birth, be sure to give the hamster and its pups enough time and space to adapt. Give it the right food and fresh water and observe the hamster and its young to make sure that everything is going well. If there are signs of a health problem, contact a veterinarian immediately for help.
