good luck with the new baby

Things like soap are really hard to copyright or trademark unless you have something really revolutionary. And you must be ready to spend a LOT to defend these protections — otherwise you are probably best not bothering. Good luck.

I have been breeding hamsters for years and my first litter was a mistake because mom came home from the store pregnant, but I enjoyed it so much I have done it many times since but these times with planning. Congratulations on your new babies, I am expecting some here soon myself!

Separate the father only if you don't want more babies. Assuming they are dwarfs, she would enjoy the help – BUT he will probably get mom pregnant again too so if you keep him in there, expect more babies.

Mom will feed the babies so you shouldn't worry about it, neither should you touch them. Mom's regular food mix should be good for her but to be on the safe side you could add some protein to her diet, peanuts and boiled egg whites are a great way to do this, but remove uneaten egg after a day or so because it will go bad.

How long you have to wait to touch the babies varies, as a general rule of thumb, excepting emergencies, do not handle the babies until their eyes open and they crawl out of the nest themselves. Even if one accidentally gets dragged out when mom leaves to get a drink, leave it, mom will usually come back for it herself. With dwarfs the age varies with breed but with Campbells dwarfs, they will start crawling out of the nest on their own usually around 14-16 days of age. At around 3 weeks or 21 days they can be separated from mom, and should be separated into two groups, brothers and sisters and housed separately to prevent accidental inbreeding. This is a great time to handle and socialize the little ones for a few weeks before finding them new homes.

When its time – be careful handling the baby hamsters, they are unsteady and can lurch about unexpectedly at amazing speeds, handle them around a soft surface like a bed where if they fall they won't get hurt.

Included below is a site with a few more specifics on the different breeds.

This is as true of real care babies as it is for actual babies. The point is to show you that being a good parent is trying to do everything you can to take care of your baby, even if doing everything is frustrating. It's to illustrate that while babies are cute and lovable, they are a lot of work to care for and can easily run you into the ground.

To do well all you really need to do is be attentive. Try to do what you can and keep on doing it when the baby continues to cry. Many new mothers are shocked that they cannot tell why their baby is crying and do the cycle in real life – check for a wet diaper, feed, burp, cuddle, etc. Some babies just continue to cry for no known reason and this is known as colic.

Most of the abuse and neglect cases against infants involve a parent under the age of 25 – children can easily frustrate you and without extensive life experience, it's easy to lash out all of a sudden and do something regrettable. That's why these babies were invented – to prevent not only the child abuse, but also encourage contraceptive use so that fewer unwanted pregnancies occur in the first place.

Just wanting to do a good job is a big step in the right direction and a big part of what it takes to be a competent caregiver. Don't worry, you'll do fine. And even if you don't do perfectly, remember that no parent is perfect and that it also might mean you're not ready to be a mom just yet.

Good luck!
