Just after 2 days we got Mama Caramel she gave birth to 8 red little babies.
Sadly, after a week we lost 3 of them, then 2, lastly the last 1 out of the remaining 3.
I've found out that mama hamster eats their dead babies and some even say kills them when they are weak. Mama hamsters can tell if their babies will not survive.
Believe me I know...I found out in a horrible way...
My mom told me to check on the babies, as I go through the bedding I happen to stumble upon this tiny head, but no bodies of the 3 babies! I didn't need to see that. I screamed and cried for hours as my daddy continued to look. After a week, we lost the other 2 babies.
The last one I called Dipper was the smallest of the last 3 babies. although she was trying to cope up with her siblings Maple and Bill, she remained tiny and thriving. We tried feeding her for extra milk, she loved it but unfortunately had complications with her bowel movement.
Bill is the fluffier and biggest of them all, Maple is just like her Mommy Caramel golden brown. Both are so cute as can be and likes to run and fight all the time!
