Past Hamster Litters - Princess and Spud

Princess and Spud were mated on 21st May 2007. Click on the tabs below to view their story and see their pups growing up. You can also click on any of the thumbnail pictures to view them full size.

 
   

Tuesday 19th June 2007 Day 14

Today the pups are handled for the first time as I clean the cage. I move Mum first and let her have a quick run around the room in her exercise ball. I then rub my hands thoroughly in the dirty wood shavings before lifting each pup out and placing it in a carry case filled with fresh sawdust.

All of the pups appear healthy and are thriving. They have so much energy and are definitely getting the benefit from only sharing Mum’s milk with two other pups. They are continuing to enjoy eating solid food and today I placed some boiled egg in the cage for them.

Hamsters love a little hard boiled egg occasionally - let the egg go cold before giving to the hamster though
