The pregnancy period of hamsters is usually 16 to 18 days. Generally, the pregnancy period of hamsters is between 16 and 18 days, and parturition may occur when it approaches 20 days.
During the pregnancy of hamsters, the following points need to be paid attention to:
Environmental Management: Ensure that hamsters have an adequate supply of food and water. Clean the cage every day to prevent infections. Keep the environmental temperature above 21 degrees Celsius and provide fresh wood shavings and cotton wool so that hamsters can build nests.
Observation of Physical Signs: Gently touch the abdomen of the female hamster with your hand. If there is a small bulge and the abdomen is round, it is likely that the hamster is pregnant. The female hamster will fiercely resist the male hamster and may even attack the male hamster. In this case, the male hamster should be isolated immediately.
Reproductive Ability: Hamsters have strong reproductive ability and can give birth one litter after another. Generally, the number of offspring per litter is between 5 and 10.
