The mother hamster has escaped, and the baby hamster has not been weaned. What should I do?

The hamster is Nocturnal Animals, who likes Yin.

According to this habit of hamsters, hamsters usually hide in a relatively dark place without light after escaping. For example, under the bed, under the sofa, behind big furniture and so on.

Hamsters have the habit of digging holes and don't hide in empty places.

Hamsters used to be cave animals in the desert, and digging holes was their specialty. After becoming pets, they still keep this habit, so we spread thick stuffing in hamster cages to satisfy them. Hamsters usually choose to hide in a corner after they escape from prison, which is what we call a corner. The empty place is not an ideal hiding place for hamsters, but just an aisle through which they quickly pass.

Three hamsters are alert by nature and won't stay in a corner.

Hamster is a highly alert animal. Even when sleeping, it can make people feel that he is alert to the external environment. It's really hard for hamsters to be completely unprepared. Hamster won't stay in one place all the time after escaping from prison, but will always look for a better habitat (he doesn't think he is escaping from prison, hehe). Therefore, friends of rats often report that when they are at a loss, the naughty hamster actually ran out and was caught.

To sum up, hamsters usually choose a dark corner to hide after they escape from prison, but hamsters don't stay in one place for long, they are constantly looking for it.

Then, you have to start looking. The specific steps are as follows:

1. When you find the hamster lost, relax, think carefully about how the hamster got out, and when was the last time you saw it, and roughly infer the lost time.

2. If your home is a suite, please close all the doors, try to keep the hamster in one room area, and don't run around in each room at that time.

Remind yourself and your family to be careful when going in and out in the future, and to tread lightly, so as not to step on soft objects one day.

4. Search each room in turn, focusing on corners and walls, as well as "inaccessible" places, if you can determine which room is best for hamsters to hide.

If you still can't find the lost hamster during the day, put some food and plastic bags in the corner of each room to prevent the hamster from being hungry because it can't find anything to eat. If you find that there is less food in a room, you can roughly determine the room where the hamster is hiding.

6. Turn off the TV at night, forbid your family to walk around and listen carefully. Listen to what? Just listen to the cackling of hamsters, and the sound of hamsters touching pre-prepared plastic bags while running. Never think that putting plastic bags is used to catch hamsters, which can only play an early warning role. Hamsters are too smart to be trapped in a plastic bag.

7. When the hamster's room is confirmed, you can make a catching plan. If there are few things that are easy to move in the house, then the tactics of "clearing the field with strong walls and chasing and blocking" should be implemented; If there are many things in the house that are difficult to move, then the tactics of "waiting for the mouse to lure the enemy in" should be implemented.

8. The tactic of "clearing the field and chasing after it" is to let the hamster have nowhere to hide and gather everyone's strength to round it up.

9. The tactic of "waiting for the rabbit, luring the enemy deep" is to lure the hamster out of its hiding place and then be captured. Generally, the food temptation method can be considered.

Take it back and don't forget to punish it! But you must never put the mother mouse and the little mouse together at the same time! Mother mouse has been wandering outside for a long time, and the smell has almost changed. Isolate for a period of time, and then put them together after the smell of the mother mouse recovers.

If you can't find your mother mouse, I'll teach you how to raise a baby by yourself. The general remedy is to find a wet nurse to feed and artificially feed.

If possible, you can find a docile mother of the same kind who just gave birth to a baby. It is strongly recommended to find a wet nurse to breast-feed your baby. Use artificial feeding only if you have to, and treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. However, whether it is wet nurse feeding or artificial feeding, there is no small danger. The former will lead to the tragedy that the wet nurse swallows the baby mouse because of its peculiar smell, and the latter will lead to the phenomenon that the baby mouse will develop abnormally or die prematurely because of problems such as untimely feeding and unbalanced nutrition. Everything should be psychologically prepared in advance.

Generally, after the baby mouse opens its eyes, that is, when the baby mouse is more than ten days old, the chances of survival are very high. After all, the baby mouse can eat snacks and drink water independently at this time. The survival rate of young rats in one week is the lowest, which is not only dominated by liquid food, but also the body functions are not perfect, and accidents will occur if there is a slight mistake.

It is really troublesome to artificially feed hamster babies within a week. Simply put, it is to simulate the feeding behavior of the mother mouse. Feed regularly for a long time, usually 2 to 4 hours. Inhale diluted milk with a small medicine bottle (usually diluted by 3 to 6 times), then gently pry the baby's mouth open for feeding, and at the same time touch the baby's stomach to make eating smoother. One thing that must be noted is that many people ignore it. Don't forget to excrete after eating. Don't think that there is no shit when the baby is young. It is also a very small and thin Hei Bang. Hey, hey, you can gently rub your baby's lower abdomen to make it feel excreted, and other auxiliary actions can be freely played. If you decide to artificially feed, please stick to it and improve your patience and love, but if you watch the lightly fed baby grow up safely, that kind of happiness is unparalleled.
