Hamster cant give birth =(

[Vindictive]

I have a female dwarf that failed to deliver her babies.. It has been two days since she was expected to deliver but all there was were blood. Her stomach is bigger than usual and it is extremely cold. Today, I washed her underneath which is full of dried blood, and she look worst than ever. I have spend many years raising hamster but this is the first time I experienced this kind of birth problem. Anyone know any solution or have experienced this with your own hamster?

the poor hamster!she must be in so much pain...maybe the babies have died or she has somethin wrong with her where she cant have them...i feel so bad for her..how old is she?is this her first litter?

[Vindictive]

Yeah, its her first litter, shes probably 3 months old as I gotten her from a petstore 2 months ago. Somehow, her birth canal seem to be too small to deliver the babies... or the babies are stuck inside and have died since her lower body is very cold and dried but blood are still coming out.. she havent eat or drink for these two days and have gotten very skinny yet a big belly full of babies or corpses...

I have heard of plenty of Dwarfs holding a pregnancy, so having their babies late.. but by the sound of it, this is definately a failed delivery...

I urge you to take her to the vets ASAP... I am sure that hamster births are different to human births in so many ways... but I have personally birthed 3 babies... and it HURTS... even when its going ok! :o Your hamster must be in agony... poor thing...

Please please do the right thing by her.....

[trixtontheham]

yes please bring her to the vet

She died! =(

[f1uffster]

I can't say I am suprised... but I am VERY sorry...

Poor thing... she sounds like she went through a lot in her last days :disappoin

[Vindictive]

My gf and I went to petmart and got another dwarf. Its a very mean white russian dwarf.. bite me so much already 0_0. But i've been taming her slowly.. looking good.. hehe..

[trixtontheham]

i cant believe you just went out and replaced her!did you go out the same day?!did you bring her to the vet?

[7GameSavvy]

I have to say, replacing your ham that quick is kind of odd. It makes you look like you didn't care about her. You should have at least waited a week or something, out of respect for the dead. You wouldn't replace your mother that quickly if she died would you??? :undecided

I pray for you...may god have mercy on your soul :angel: :goodbad: :redhot:

[trixtontheham]

yeah i mean the cage isnt even cold yet!

[7GameSavvy]

This is the kind of thing I hate, when people don't consider hamsters, dwarfs or syrians, as living, breathing animals. They're not just some toy that can get thrown away and replaced when the batteries die. Poor girl, I hope she is in hammy heaven right now having a good time without her pathetic owner. :headshake :mad1:

[trixtontheham]

i mean i know some people dont get over attached to their pets but an animal deserves the right to be mourned. :mad:
the poor girl was probably in pain for days!

i feel so bad for her!i know what that is like for a human and i bet its exactly the same for a hamster! :crybucket

[7GameSavvy]

It might even be worse for a ham, having 5 or more babies in there...poor girl:(

I was going to breed my Ham girl but my parents made me wait until school was over. She is 8 months old now and I'm not going to breed her. I read this thing yesterday about how at 6 months old their pelvic bones fuse together and if they haven't had a litter yet they fuse in a narrower position. If she got pregnant she wouldn't be able to have the babies!!! I'm glad I found out.:)

Just out of curiosity... am I the only person here getting an Eburna (banned member) vibe from this 'vindictive' whoever he is??

Can't help but think :troll:

Maybe its just me?

[7GameSavvy]

Oh no f1uffster, I'm getting the feeling too.....:mischievo

Oh, oh, here it comes again!!!:jump3:

[f1uffster]

I take it these forums are moderated... can someone not do an IP check?
If its the same IP, surely they can ban from source?

[7GameSavvy]

I have no idea. I just think it's awful that someone would post something like "my hamster died and we got another one" after we know what the poor girl went through. And then not bother to post anymore!!!:no::mad:

[Vindictive]

I have a total of 4 hamster, and one 4 story cage.. heheh.. gotta keep those 3 company despite the lost. Buried the poor soul today, me and my gf. Oh i do feel sad but gf insist on replacing so she wont feel sad.

[7GameSavvy]

I can't believe it vindictive, you don't sound the least upset. And that's BS that the other 3 need company. Do you always do what your girlfriend tells you to???:dodgy: :rolleyes1

Savvy

[trixtontheham]

did you say you keep them all in one four layered cage????
its stupid to think u can just replace and animal. the other hamsters you have know she is gone.u could at least give them a chance to get used to that!!!

[7GameSavvy]

Yeah Vindictive, they're greeving too. Oh, and Trix the hams are dwarfs (I think?) so it's ok that they're together. But of course you already knew that, lol:)
