Baby hamsters are expected to be able to open their eyes on the 12th day after birth. It is normal to open both eyes or one eye. Around 25 days after birth, baby hamsters can be weaned and start eating oats, millet, vegetables and other foods. One and a half months after birth, the baby hamster needs to be separated from the mother, and after two months it needs to be raised in a separate cage.
When does the baby hamster open its eyes
One week after birth, the baby hamster begins to grow hair. After another five days, the baby hamster will open its eyes. Some hamsters can open their eyes, while some hamsters can only half-open their eyes. This is normal.
Baby hamsters can be weaned around 25 days after birth and can eat alone. Newly weaned hamsters can eat oats mixed with shelled millet, and they can also eat some vegetables, such as cabbage, cabbage, carrots and other vegetables. Pay attention to cleaning and wiping the water before feeding.
Before one and a half months old, hamsters must be separated into cages and separated from their mothers. Otherwise, the baby hamsters will be easily attacked and even bitten to death by their mothers. 2-month-old hamsters are already mature. At this time, it is important to keep one in a cage and do not keep them mixed.
Hamsters aged 2 to 3 months can already eat a lot of food, including rat food, grains, vegetables, fruits, seeds, etc. During the feeding process, attention should be paid to nutritional balance. Rat food should generally be used as the main food, with an appropriate amount of vegetables and fruits.
