Carrot and Peanut

Guess whose big butt is this?


It's CARROT


Previously, i assumed that my Peanut is pregnant..
but, until now she is not giving birth yet..
and her stomach is still small..
but...
she does nesting wor..
why leh?

This is the signs that Carrot and Peanut have:

Step 1:
Recognize when a hamster is pregnant by observing an increase in activity, especially in regard to nesting behaviors. Pregnant hamsters will begin to prepare the bedding area by adding more cedar chips to the existing nest. In addition, the female hamsters will also begin to hoard food, usually hiding it directly under the nest.
*They do..especially hiding green beans..

Step 2:
Observe any increases in weight gain in order to recognize signs of pregnancy. While a pregnant hamster may not show a bump in her belly until 4 or 5 days before giving birth, you should notice a rapid increase in the girth of the animal. This is usually caused by an increased appetite and should start just a few days after conception.
*It is obvious for Carrot for all the time..not for Peanut

Step 3:
See whether your hamster is drinking more water than usual. Excessive thirst often accompanies pregnancy in hamsters, but it may also be a sign of gastrointestinal distress from fruits and vegetables as well.
*Both of them do, especially Peanut

Step 4:
Watch the hamster in question to see how she interacts with other hamsters in the cage. You will be able to recognize a pregnant female if she suddenly begins fighting with the others and protecting her nest. A pregnant hamster may also be more reluctant to let you handle her, and she may even bite you once or twice to let you know she is displeased and uncomfortable with being held.
*They did..injured Dong Gua..Poor Dong Gua..

Step 5:
See whether a hamster's nipples begin to protrude from her abdomen. This will occur about a week before the babies are born. The nipples should be clearly visible in all but the longest-haired varieties of hamsters, such as the dwarfs.
*Didn't see any..don't know how to see..

When will she/they give birth?I wonder..Can't wait to see the babies..
