Small mammals reproduce very rapidly. |
When the female is expecting, she spends a lot of time preparing the nest area. Hamster Fluff and Midnight Blanket offer safe nesting comfort. |
Remove the male from the den, for he will be a threat to the offspring. Be careful not to disturb the female during the first few days after birth. |
Give the female fresh food every day and extra vitamins and minerals after the young are born. |
