The fertility of hamsters is different, with an average of 4-8 per fetus, but the actual situation is very different, ranging from 1-20. When the hamster mother is found standing for a long time, it means that the birth has ended, and nutrition and physical exertion should be supplemented. Sometimes we will see mother mouse running with the mouse and playing with wheels. Usually, mother mouse holding the mouse wheel is a sign that she is a little nervous. In order to prevent mother mouse from playing with the wheel, we can put the wheel as high as possible where mother mouse can barely stand up. When the mother mouse tried to get on the wheel with the mouse in her arms, she couldn't stand up because the mouse was too heavy. After trying for 2-3 times, the mother mouse will give up, put down the mouse and play with the wheels by herself. In this way, the mother mouse can't carry the mouse on the wheel.
So we should not only pay attention to the mother before delivery, but also pay attention to many things after delivery. In terms of diet, we should try our best to meet the nutritional needs of female rats. In addition, the mother mouse should be placed in a relatively quiet environment after birth. Then let the mother rats do proper exercise to enhance their physique. In addition, it should be noted that the cage should be kept clean to avoid bacterial infection. Also, try not to let the mouse's body stink, so as to avoid the situation that the mother mouse swallows the mouse.
Put the cage in a quiet corner first. The master should try his best to be quiet at home. In the initial stage of feeding the young rats, the female rats should not clean the cage, touch the young rats, observe the young rats, put the male cage next to the female cage, and keep the distance between the two cages as far as possible. Manage diet, clean up, and tidy up rats. During this period, it is necessary to avoid getting sick, because the health status of the female hamster will decline during the nursing period.
