Many friends who have just raised hamsters may find it difficult to find that the hamster is pregnant. Some find out after the hamster has given birth to a bunch of small hamsters. It turns out that the hamster is pregnant a long time ago, so it is best to know some of the hamster pregnancy conditions in advance. How much do you know about the symptoms of hamster pregnancy? Let's take a look at it together.
First, the temper and personality have changed.
1. Bad temper, pregnant female hamsters will generally become anxious, even if they were super docile before, they will be a little abnormal. For example, you start running frantically, running around the cage, gnawing on the cage, and even biting you.
2. Like to fight, because the pregnant female hamster becomes irritable, if you have not separated the male hamster at this time, then it is very likely that you will fight hard and cause death and injury. Therefore, it is generally recommended to keep the male and female in separate cages after mating.
3. The hamster is no longer willing to accept the climb of other male hamsters, and will attack the male hamster.
Second, the hamster's belly is obviously enlarged, and some will touch the ground.
1. A "pear-shaped body" began to appear, and the body shape became significantly larger. In the past, the body was well-proportioned, and pregnancy became a pear-shaped . When it stretches its body, you can clearly observe that its body is pear-shaped, and the roots of the thighs are obviously enlarged horizontally. This symptom is also more obvious a few days before delivery, and sometimes feels that it suddenly grows up overnight.
2. Unsteady walking, difficult climbing, difficulty turning over.
3. If you hold the mother mouse in your hands, it feels heavy, the belly becomes obviously larger, and a line is formed in the middle, and the belly is obviously bumpy. Put your fingers gently on the belly to touch, and sometimes feel small lumps. At this time, the hand strength should not be too strong, so as not to cause miscarriage. If it is only obese, the belly is soft.
4. Generally, experienced mouse control can find out whether a hamster is pregnant or not after 1 week of pregnancy. This is actually the most reliable way to judge.
5. Double-breasted appearance,In layman's terms, it is nipples. This phenomenon is also more obvious a few days before delivery. The nipples of female hamsters were not exposed because of the cover of hair before, but they can be seen during pregnancy due to changes in body shape. The female hamster has 10 nipples, separated on both sides of the abdomen. Double-breasted breasts are actually the nipple of a female mouse when it is breastfeeding. The closer it is to production, the more obvious the double-breasted. However, it is unreasonable to conclude that a hamster is pregnant only by double-breasted, and double-breasted is suitable for other reasons.
Third, the intake of food and drinking water by hamsters has increased significantly.
1. The phenomenon of storing a large amount of food and storing food is not only a special action of the pregnant female SS, but the female mouse will be more obvious. After she has built her ideal delivery room, she will generally store the food in the nest. If you move its accumulated food, it will appear very anxious, and then it will move to the storage area next time.
2. The female mouse generally does not leave the litter in the first two days of delivery. One is a lot of physical exertion, and the other is to protect the pups. The mother rat judges the amount of food and babies stored to decide whether to "recycle" some weak babies. So be careful at this time, don’t think that hiding food is a waste of female rats and "robbing away" the stored food!
3. In general, female rats drink a lot of water a few days before giving birth, which is more than usual. More shows that the number of babies is also larger.
Fourth, hamsters like , drowsiness and no longer exercise, like to do nests.
Although rats usually make nests when it is cold, when pregnant female hamsters feel that the existing nest is not quiet enough or not big enough, they will desperately run with wood chips, cotton and other nest materials. Go around and actively build a "delivery room." At this time, even hamsters who are not talented for nesting will still display their nesting instincts. At this time, we can provide the mother mouse with more materials to build an ideal delivery room.
hamsters will also lick the lower part. The mother mouse mouse squatted and lowered her head to lick her lower part. It was herself checking whether the baby was coming out soon. Although licking the lower part is one of the habit of hamsters, the licking time is longer than usual at this time.Due to the baby's weight, the mother mouse will focus so much that she accidentally loses her balance and falls to the ground.
