- Hamster birth litter can be as many as 18 pups !!!
- Hamster pups are born blind and only starts to open their eyes around 10th day
- Each hamster pup recognize their mother's scent and will always feed on the same milking tits.
- Hamster pups are usually wean around 14-21days and during weaning period, pups will drink milk and eat solid food at the same time.
- Mother of the litter will eat her pups if she is under stress or under threat or under nutrition
