I was breeding hamsters for awhile-- it is typical for the FEMALE to eat her first litter. She often feels inadequate to tend to her first litter. The male isn't known for eating the babies (male or female) since he's like any "typical male" and prefers to let the female do all the work.
Yes, the male can eat the babies if you don't.
If you get anotherfemale hamster the mother of the hammy they with fight and the female hamster will eat the baby hamster.! If you don't know if you have a female or male go to animal doctor and they will tell you if they female or male?
of course not. by estherbella.
Do not put the male around the female! Some male hamsters eat the babies, I'm not kidding.
Yes.
Well you should wait about 4 or 5 weeks because if you hold them when they're not of the right age the mother of the hamster may eat the baby because of the scent you gave the hamster from holding it so wait a while unless you want your baby hamster to be eaten.
no it will eat its babys
no! the male will eat the babies even if the male is their father!
Gerbil stuff. Smell each other. Look for signs of aggression. A male may attack a female. They will breed.....you will have many hamsters. An adult will eat a baby hamster.
well usually when you have a pregnant hamster housed with a male hamster, the female will fight him visously until death. However once her babies are born, the male will eat them! So after you mate them, separate the 2 immediatly.
The male hamster might deside to eat the babies. It sounds funny, but it is true. XO
depending if it was a baby they can eat their own poo.
