Yes. Hamsters are just like guinea pigs. Their "potty" still has nutrients that can be helpful to their body. Hamsters' food also may not have enough nutrients, and that is why they may be eating their "potty."

How can I prevent my 8-week-old kitten from eating litter?

To prevent your 8-week-old kitten from eating litter, make sure to provide a litter box with non-clumping litter specifically designed for kittens. Keep the litter box clean and free of clumps, as kittens may be attracted to the texture. Additionally, supervise your kitten while using the litter box and redirect their attention if they try to eat the litter. Consider using a covered litter box or placing the litter box in a location that is not easily accessible to the kitten.

Does noise cause the hamster to eat their baby?

Sometimes that is just what hamsters do. It is more common after the first litter. If they are stressed in any way, it could happen. If they have a litter of babies, the best thing to do is just check the food and water, but otherwise leave them alone. I am not sure how valid it is, but I have also heard that feeding hamsters meats like hot dogs or bits of lunch meat will increase the chances they eat their litter later as well.

I don't know, but i have had dogs eat my cat's poop before, so be careful! YUM! Dogs can be trained to use a litter box with a short (about 1 inch high) edge, but they do not like to hop over large sides. Also, dogs prefer to go on a "wee wee pad," instead of in litter.
