Hi, guys.....since I've never had a baby animal before, I was wondering if it was normal for hamster babies to cry all the time. They're about 10 days old now and are still in the tube with their mama...haven't seen them at all, still have no idea how many there are...and only see the mama when she comes out to get food. As soon as she sees me, though, she goes running back into the tube to protect her babies I don't mind this at all, but I've been hearing them cry more and more during the night. They cry pretty much during the day, too, but I notice it more at night because they're on top of my dresser which is right next to my bed. I think it's kind of cute, but I sometimes wonder if they're all right in there. Is it normal for them to cry like that? They sound like little puppies (which stands to reason, since they're called pups). I suppose there isn't much I could do if something *is* wrong, but I'm just wondering. I know it's how they communicate with their mama, but the frequency sort of makes me worry a little.
Am I just being a worrywort?
I figure they'll come out in a few days, probably by the beginning of next week, and I can't wait! I'll be sure to get pics of them and post them, too
Thanks,
hamsterlover
