sorry to be asking so many questions on my hamster being pregnant I'm just concerned about her ok .so my hamster pancake is storing food,and bedding in her cheeks and bringing it up to her bed,shes wide around the stomic and shes very jumpy she hates it when we put a another hamster in her cage she fights it all the time do you think she is pregnant because i think she is.

Answers:

Hamsters are naturally aggressive towards each other. They do store food in their cheeks. When I looked in my hamsters bed/hiding spot, it was full of food and pieces of sunflower seed that had already been eaten. As your hamster gets older she/he may become very quiet or very jumpy. But still do not erase the fact out of your mind that she may be pregnant. Don't let any other hamsters in the cage. Check on her often, but don't stick your hand in the cage. Make sure there's not too much noise around her. Also, you should be feeding her 1 baby carrot,one raisin and one teaspoon of her usual food. Hamsters usually like (pregnant or not)-

baby carrots

raisins

lettuce

sunflower seeds

apple slices

Treats should only be given only once a day. No matter how healthy they claim they are, it still has calories and sugar. Vegetables should be served with one teaspoon of hamster food. Does she bite? Has she always bitten? Whatever you do, keep in consideration that your hamster could be pregnant or a little overweight. I hope this helped you and good luck with your little Pancake and her possible babies!
