Reply:I don't really know much about dwarf hamsters, but if it hasn't had the chance to get pregnant, then i advise you to take it to the vets, which would probably be a good idea anyway.


Good luck!
Reply:is the lump on her head or leg? You can be pretty sure shes not preggers if it is!
Reply:I found this on the web about pregnancy in hamsters. As there are few clues to a hamster being pregnant, you may have to assume it is a cyst and get it checked straigt away by a vet.





Syrian hamsters are pregnant 16-19 days, dwarf hamster 19-22 days. Don't disturb the mother or she might eat or abandon her babies. As soon as the babies come out by themselve, you should move them with the mother (and the nest) to a large aquarium so that the babies cannot escape through the bars.





You can take her to the vet to be sure, otherwise you will have to wait if she gives birth because it's next to impossible to see if a hamster is pregnant. If she does give birth to babies, try top find new homes for them as soon as possible. Although hamsters are cute, this won't be easy. Hamsters sold to pet shops often end as snake dinners. Besides, you never know who will buy them then. They must be seperated from their mother when they are three weeks old (but not sooner) and you must seperate male and female babies because they can mate when they are four weeks old.


I hope I was of some help
