12 May 10 Handling Baby Dwarf Hamsters

The handlers should be cautious and exercise great care in handling the pups; they can be quite jumpy and run the risk of injuring themselves if they fall from your hands. Breeding dwarf hamsters require constant handling to make the pups tame as they grow older. In two weeks’ time, the pups are now ready for their first solid food. These babies must be given fresh and regular servings of oats or oatmeal, wheat germ and small birdseed. When they are three weeks older they can be already be offered lab blocks which can become their staple meal as they grow older. In order for them to grow faster and healthier it is advisable to feed them on small grains, maybe even slices of cucumbers or red apples. By the time they are ten days old they can already reach for the water bottle. Their mother will start to lessen her nursing as they become more able to eat on their own.
