I know! I love him <3 He loves bread dipped in milk, and he loves his water bottle! He is sometimes sweet but mostly bites lol.

I would advise you to not give any milk to him, Hamsters are intolerable to any milk other than their mother's milk.

I'll try to post new photos of the litter with 25 days of life, I took them today.

Actually, that's what you give pregnant hamsters for nutrition (or eggs), it's on a video on YouTube. I just dry it out as much as I can

[The Mad Girl]

That's just a myth, I mean, the milk being good for pregnant or lactating hamsters, they don't help the female in anything, in fact, they can put them at risk, since the female loses many defenses after the birth of the babies, so, they are more fragile, milk should be in fact avoided as much as possible.
Supplements should be the correct thing to give them, they are not very expensive and are pretty good to help the mother and after the 15th day the babies can start eating as well.
A FIXED diet (by fixed I mean, for exemple: Monday - Supplement and egg, Tuesday - Supplement and carrot, ect ect) should be done until the babies are weaned, in that diet it's good to include: Vegetables, fruit, supplements, which can be baby food or any supplement sold in a vet or pet store, it's good to ask first as we don't have the same brands as America or UK, egg (just a really little bit of it for the mother and after the 15th day, if the litter has more than 5 babies, a whole egg), cooked meat (Better if Chicken, NO SALT, only with water, a chicken leg is enough for a whole month, for the mother and the babies, so, it should be given in small pieces as well) and fish (Same way as the cooked meat).
And yes, the supplement shouldn't have any milk included, use water to make it and read if it has already milk before buying it, if so, don't buy it, some baby food and pet supplements already have milk, which as I said, is not good for Hamsters.

Sorry for my english, it is just my 5th language.

Skittles, I'm sorry for your hamster
Christine, your english is fine!, I understand everything you say!


My hamster, Luna, never runs on her wheel. At first I thought it was because she was to small, but I've had her for about five months now and she still doesn't run on it. Is that normal? Because all the hamsters that I have known run on their wheels.

[The Mad Girl]

My Hamsters don't like the wheel as well, they know how to use it, as they used to use at young age but never seen them using them again, this happens just with my Syrians, they are all pretty quiet and calm, none of them is active, while my Campbells are crazy about their wheels, they run like crazy.
