There are about three I think and there are two dwarf's in a small aquarium with the babies can I move the babies and parents to a 10 gallon tank or should I leave them alone?
The pups should be left alone with their mother. Don't touch them, or even clean the enclosure during this time.
The pups will begin to color in 4 days, and fur will come at about 7 days. They should open their eyes in roughly 10 days and start to move around. Now you may start to handle them tenderly for a short time, but watch the mother carefully as she may not like her babies being handled too soon or too often. Take extra care to insure the babies aren't injured, and that they don't fall from any height. Do handle them, however, as this helps them to become tame and trains them to enjoy being handled.
In 2 weeks or so the pups will begin to take solid nourishment. Wheat germ, small seeds, oats, and oatmeal in regular amounts are all acceptable. At about 3 weeks you can introduce lab blocks, but do not expect the babies to thrive on these until they are adults. Baby dwarf hamsters will do best and grow fastest if they are regularly provided small grains, and these can be augmented with tiny slices of fruit or cucumber.
pets question and answers,www.5d2d.com At around 10 days, they will also start to reach their water source-preferably a bottle. At this time, the mother will begin to wean them. Sometime around the 4 week mark, they will be completely weaned and ready to make the move to their very own enclosure. They will also start looking for play opportunities, and a hamster toy is a good addition at this time. If you have kept your male hamster together with the mother, she most likely will already be pregnant again ... they are really just baby producing machines! If that is the case, her babies should be removed at around eighteen to twenty days when another litter is present. Move the males to one enclosure and the females to another, thus preventing any unwanted pregnancies.
You can basically take care of baby dwarf hamsters the same way you would any other hamster. Of course, you will need a few basic dwarf hamster supplies. Once a week cleaning of their enclosure, but watch the cage and if it becomes dirty sooner, clean it more frequently, especially if there is more than one hamster in it. Make sure to provide fresh food and water daily, even if your hamsters hoard their food. Check your dwarf baby hamsters frequently to make sure they are healthy, growing, and thriving. When they reach about 4 weeks, you can give them away or sell them. Hope this helps!=)
the babies have very fragile bodies, so if you touch them because you want to move them, you might just break their bodies. leave them for a while and when they are about strong and can already crawl, that's the time you can move the hamsters. don't worry about the father eating the babies, this isn't true. i read it in the internet and it stated that it's terribly false. you see, parents eat their dead babies to protect the live ones. so it's just their nature to eat their dead babies. but if it's not still dead, they wouldn't eat it.
Leave them be. At 2 weeks on the mark, take them out or they will get territorial of their babies, and fight and some could lose their lives.
leave the babies alone untill 2 weeks old get the dad out now i read some where he will kill the babies im pretty shor
