My Dwarf hamster has 6 babies about 2 weeks old, they are all mobile and can eat solid food. One of the babies, on the other hand, is very small in size and barley has any fur. Its eyes are open and it seems to come out of the nest to try and eat like the others. My problem is that i dont think shes getting as much food as the others, therefore, she isn't growing like the others. Can some one help???

Most of the time, you will always have a smaller one. But if you are real worried try handfeeding him some scrambled eggs, boiled chicken, tofu, or fruit. My hammy loved the scrambled eggs. I could be just what he needs to help him on his way. Of course, continue to let mom nurse him.
