We still don't know which one is Dad anyway! It's nice know of such an important fatherly role in nature for a change ;-)<br/>The baby hamsters are alive and we actually got a little bit of footage last night of a couple of them, which I will post on the blog later to day.

If you want the babies to survive Mom needs the Dad hamster's help. Good news though, soon they will hibernate and do not usually breed while hibernating. The babies should be removed at three weeks old and can then safely go to new homes. You must do this as daughters can breed at six weeks. Bad news, Mom hamster gets pregnant hours after the birth.
