∙ 14y agoNo. However, if they feel their babies are threatened, some mothers will eat their young, feeling that death is preferable to being hunted. For this reason, you should only handle the babies if you are wearing rubber or latex gloves. Father hamsters will also eat or kill their young, because the mother goes into heat immediately after having her babies, so he may kill the young in order to mate with their mother again.
