Syrian Hamster PUPS!The newborn pups don't have any fur, their eyes are closed, and they're still cute.They can't see, or hear, but they can already smell and move themselves around by theirfront feet. If one does stray from the nest the mother will scoop him up and return him, don't worry, hamster mom's know what they're doing. Resist the temptation to pick them up. The mom won't like this and it could even cause her to abandon, or even worse, eat the babies. Just watch them and wait around two weeks before handling them. At two weeks the puppies will have a soft fur coat and will be running around raising havoc in the cage. Around three weeks they'll begin leaving their mother for longer periods of time to explore and look for food on their own. They'll hardly ever fight, and will begin to burrow and hoard food. Yep they're hamsters all right! At three to four weeks old a baby Syrian Hamster is ready to go live on his own. If left with brothers and sisters a Syrian Hamster will fight them viciously. So never leave them in mixed sex groups. But you've already found them good homes long ago ( categories: )
