yes
you can tell if your hamster is going to have babies if there belly is saggy and it is not getting much exercise.
If it is notably bigger.
It's dead
# She was stressed out by loud noises or the father. # The babies were touched by a human and therefore, had another scent on them. # The babies were deformed or had genetic disorders. # The mother was a first-time, inexperienced mother. Mothers may eat the babies for any of these reasons. I have found that the second birth is usually much larger and has a much better survival rate because the mother knew what was going on and what to do. The first litter was sort of a surprise to her and she had to learn the ropes.
It depends. Well, I have four hamsters and three are robo hamsters and the other one is a Campbell dwarf hamster. Two of the robos are males and the other robo is a female. I put one male robo and the female robo together and they had 2 their first time. But the second litter and third litter, there were about 6-7 babies that were born. Usually the first litter is always smallest, but the most babies would probably be no more than 8 or 9, who knows, like I said, it depends. Oh and if your female is going to have babies, make sure the male is not in the cage with her or else she might get scared and eat her babies( she thinks she's protecting them).
You could tell if your hamster is going to have babies by viewing the sheer size of the belly. If your female hamster is active with a male hamster, check the sice of her belly and mark the size on a piece of paper. You could also tell by if the Female Hamster Tend to sleep a little more than usually and has a different diet intentions For more Information on Hamsters, visit: http://www.hamsterownerswebs.webs.com/ This is my site.

Being pregnant, not living like a hermit, is statistically the most common precursor to birth. Your hamster's refusal to leave the tunnel may just mean your hamster dislikes you.
Seperate the male. You remove the male hamster from the female when she is about to have the babies to prevent it from killing them. When they are weened and big enough to defend themselves the male can be put back, but it would be best not to have too many all together as they may fight.
=Hairless Hamsters cannot Lactate. The babies will not die at birth but if you do not find a rat or other hamster mom they will starve too death. Or you are going too need too hand feed.=
You may notice the hamster getting larger around the belly and back area, she may start gnawing more than usual and you may see teats on her underbelly about a week after mating.
The number of babies a guinea pig is going to have can be approximately determined through an ultrasound performed by a veterinarian. However, the exact number may not always be accurate as there can be variations. Usually, guinea pigs have between 1 to 6 babies per litter.
Hamsters aren't supposed to share cages if there syrians(dwarf hamsters can share a cage very happily). Your hamsters could kill eachother; hamster's nature is to roam alone. However, if you have one male hamster, and one female hamster, this may not apply, as the female can, well, you know, with the male and before you know it.... pop goes the BABIES. Be prepared.
