you can hold the mother a few days after giving birth.
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.
Any hamster is easy to hold but is depends on how you treat it but if you want to hold a hamster you need to check its water and food and of course the hamster SO ALWAYS REMEMBER TO TREAT YOUR HAMSTER WITH RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Is the adult hamster its birth mother?
Well, I only hold my Hamster Babies after they are a month old. If you want to make sure, wait until they grow body hair and have already opened their eyes. Then you can hold them. But it really depends on the mother. If the mother hamster is a first timer, she may panic when you hold her babies and might eat them, so if your Mommy Hamster is a first timer, better make sure and wait until they opened their eyes. But if your Mommy Hamster is already an experienced one, they may allow you to hold her babies, let's say, about 2 or 3 weeks old. But to be sure, just wait at a minimum of 1 month. Hope that helps. ;)
after the baby hamster has been handled for a while sometimes the mother hamster will eat their young so be "careful".
Yes. You can, in fact its the excact time you should hold them because if you hold them at the wrong time they might die from their mother eating them.
Mother hamster is not resenting her babies, but when mother Hamster are afraid , they hide there children in their mouth. if the mother stayed scared, it will eat its babies! so its better when your hamster gives birth , to Never make any noise close to the cage.
The mother hamster does not care as much because she is stressed and worries about her care more.
It is safest to handle a hamster mother when it's ok to hold her babies as well (3 and 1/2 weeks). But you can take her out for short periods about a week after she's given birth, to give her a break from motherhood, and the babies will be fine also. Good luck!
Yes they do. A mother hamster usually feeds the puppies for two weeks after they are born.
well their is really not much to do with a hamster but, they are fun to hold.
it will abandon its baby.
